Well, it's not really $250. The "dining dough" website looks like a sister site of restaurant.com, where you can buy $25 certificates for $2 all the time...So the deal is really worth $158 - still not bad though.

Any ideas on how this will work? I'm assuming they are just going to issue a 1099 for 250 in one fell swoop, but can you issue a 1099 for something with no cash value?
I finally got through... "conditionally approved". I don't have any credit monitoring so I won't be able to tell if this post an INQ. Over $100 bonus makes an INQ worthwhile for me.

Looks like they are going to do that. $100 restaurant.com != $100. They are just coupons. This is bad.

Just because someone gives you a 1099 doesn't mean you have to pay taxes for that amount. If you don't use the coupons, you received nothing of value... and thus received no income. Don't include it on your 1040, and IF you get audited, be prepared to either show the 1099 amount was wrong... or demonstrate a more appropriate value.

Are you sure ? I have seen threads here for example on "winners" of airline tickets getting huge amounts reported based on highest retail value of tickets such that taxes woudl be way more than normal economy ticket making it a woerthless prize and giving up on them.
A: Harris didn't pay $100 for the coupons, they can't report they are worth $100 B: They state in the terms they have no cash value C: The coupons usually require a purchase (ie to use $25, you must purchase $50). This is not "income", it is a reduction is the price of a good, and may not be taxable (i.e. credit card purchase rewards) D: You can dispute the value of a 1099 line item. If the payer doesn't agree to modify the 1099, then you will likely trip an IRS flag, but if you can support your claim, you will be fine. I'd recommend an addendum to your return explaining the difference. Flight rewards should be valued at a prevailing rate, but there are a lot of variables at play (advance purchase requirements, blackouts, etc), so your example may not be as cut and dry as something like this. If I receive a television that I can buy at Best Buy for $100, and the payer claims it cost $1000, I would be fine in an audit so long as I can demonstrate the true retail value. E: I will be unbelievably shocked if Harris adds this to the 1099.
there is a form for the 1040 to give the actual value of the item that you received. You will need to document it. I did it a couple of years ago with a laptop that I won.
not that I am worried about this. But this certificate you will receive from the bank is not won and if Bank chooses to send you 1099 then it is entirely different from winning a prize.
Just as Bank would inform you thru 1099 they will let IRS know how much they paid you as interest.

Are most people opening account with Direct Deposit? It seems if I were to open with Bill Pay requirement, I'll be charge maintenance fee if I don't keep more than $2,000.
