jackcrawfish said:Mrs J applied for an MMIA account. Funded for $10000. Received signature card to mail in (no fax option).

I did not ever see a credit card funding option.

I added a few comments and documents to the QS for easy reference.

how soon can we withdraw without penalty? no minimums? or dormancy fees?

edit to add: I promise... no boasting this time, though. no multiple accounts either. lesson learned.

FWIW...

We pulled credit reports this morning. For Mrs J and I, we received no hard inquiries.

Thanks for uploading the PDF files jack & NightShopper.

So the best account for the bonus is the MMIA? Put in $10k, take out $9.9k, get 3 free ATM rebates a month, get a free TV. Am I missing any strings?

Same here, I had to close the application at that step (funding) and will have to restart it all over again later.

Has anyone been able to open the account online ?? My application consistently stops before step 3 - the validation. Is it working for you ? I've tried with IE and Firefox. Thanks!

No problem, used IE.

So now Free checking qualifies for the promo? It was posted before that a CSR said no, opened Platinum, to be on the safe side.

OP stated Free checking is not an option when opening in branch

I called and was told Free checking qualifies.

bjg reported Free checking might not work and then changed position based on new information. Last I knew, bjg believed free checking worked so long as bill pay and estatements are initiated.

Very YMMV...


IMHO (in order of preference),

1) if you have the cash to transfer for a week or so, open a money market investment account (MMIA).
2) if you only have 5k, open a platinum to be certain of receiving gift.
3) if you want to gamble a bit, open a free checking but PRINT and take screenshots every step of the way.

I called the bank and they saw my applications and completed the application for me. They said that many are having problems. I opened the free checking account and the rep I spoke with confirmed which gift I wanted to receive.

I think everyone is opting for the TV because it's "worth" more. I own a Flip Video UltraHD and love it. The The Flip Video MinoHD is what's pictured. It's slightly smaller but I went for the UltraHD because it records stereo audio and has HDMI out.

I have opened an account at the branch this morning and opted for Camcorder. I have upgraded my spouse account and opted for the TV (She has already had platinum account in this bank).

At the branch they have referral bonus too. $50 for you + $50 for your friend.

At the branch they have new printed pamphlets says offer is good for platinum checking. But they are offering free basic account online. I have choose to open at the branch because I will get a locker facility for free with platinum checking account and the referral of 100$.
