Our Verdict
There is a better offer of $200 for those in California. This bonus isn’t too bad, but it’s not great either. $100 is the minimum value I look for in checking accounts and this just hits it but requires a direct deposit and no credit card funding. I’d recommend doing these deals first before considering this one.
