I opened a PNC account in early August. As of then, not only did they not do a hard inquiry, but you could also use your credit card to fund the account up to $2000. The charge was processed as a purchase. Oh! And that credit card purchase counted as a DD to trigger the bonus.

How can we know that purchase is counted as a DD?

When you get the bonus shortly after funding.

I tried 3k but it was too much so went for the 2k tran and it went all though. I don't have the schwab card and get my 1.25% with the Chase Freedom so $25 is ok. Maybe this will pop in my most used category to get me 3% - wishfull thinking. Thanks OP.

I just now inquired about the credit card funding to the account and the rep was telling that it will treated as cash advance.
Has something being changed recently?

They may not know, It was not shown on the funding page that it would be considered a cash advance and parento did have it count as a purchase. I might call chase to have any Cash Advance canceled that shows on my account or have that option blocked?

Please report once the transaction gets posted to the credit card account? I just want to make sure that it is treated as purchase.

Any tips for triggering the bonus without DD? I just opened the account because... well, I always liked the way Virtual Wallet is implemented. I just saw that THEY charge you for taking money out of a non-PNC ATM, however, and I no longer want the account. I'll happily take the bonus, though, and happily swallow the "25 dollar early termination" charge.

$25 assessed if you close your Virtual Wallet SPEND account within 180 days of the date the account was opened.

Not sure what the fees/time limit are for the RESERVE account.

"Offer available to new PNC Bank checking account customers only who must open the account using the on-line application." To be considered as new customer by PNC bank, how long do we have to wait after closing a checking account ?

Better yet what are the min balances required for checking and the virtual wallet?

I don't believe there are any minimum balance requirements.

I'd like to know the answer too. Wonder if i can use ING or TDAmeritrade to push.

From their fee schedule:

SPEND is your primary checking account. If you write checks, 3 will be 
processed for free each statement period, after that there’s a $0.50 fee 
for each additional check.

Wow, $.50 for each check written after the first 3 in a statement period? Why would anyone want to use this is their primary checking account? I guess the bonus is the only draw here.
