Checking account bonuses are a dime a dozen, so not ground breaking, but if you don't have BOA checking yet (like me), you may be interested....

Get a $100 bonus
when you open a new eligible checking account by 8/31/2014 and have two $250 or more direct deposits within 90 days from account opening

Get a $150 bonus
when you open a new eligible checking account by 8/31/2014 and have two $2,000 or more direct deposits within 90 days from account opening

Key T&Cs (though I recommend reading all of them at the link) and other items of note:
  • This exclusive offer is only for select Bank of America® customers who don't already have a checking account with us.There's no offer code required.
  • Core checking waives $12 monthly fee with DD of $250+/month or $1,500 min balance
  • ACH counts as DD (H/T Doctor of Credit, the data points are old, but they seem to keep this page up-to-date)
  • Accept MO via ATM, but not Mobile (H/T FlyerTalk)
I'm mainly doing this as I need another place to deposit MO, but always nice to get a little extra on top. I couldn't find this on SD or any blogs; a few blogs are advertising a $100 bonus for $2,000 DD every 30 days for 90 days from account opening (3 times), but this offer is better (I'd put imo, but I dont see how it could possibly be worse)

Soft pull. Min opening deposit is $25 for core checking. I dont know if you can fund with cc or if it's CA; the app asks for a debit card.

Make sure you read through their fees: For my "simple" checking account, I have to keep a min monthly minimum is $1500 - else they charge $14 monthly maintenance fee.

Hello,

What accounts count as an ACH? Amazon, and what else? Does PP count? What else?

Thanks
i just transferred from another checking account for the ACH, which i believe counts as a DD

but i cant confirm 100% yet. my first 90 days aren't up, so i haven't received my bonus
