The gentlest bonus on the board: no fee, no reported ChexSystems pull, no published end date, and a promo code instead of a coupon. Two direct deposits of $500+ within 75 days using code CHECKING250. The code rotates every few months (the previous REWARD250 is dead), which is exactly the kind of silent change this site exists to catch.
Eligibility

- Open a 360 Checking account with promo code CHECKING250 (or via the promo page).

The fine print that matters
