The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Arapahoe Credit Union is offering a referral bonus. Person referring gets $75-$250 and person signing up receives up to $200:
  • $100 with active checking account
  • $25 with free CardControl App
  • $75 when you receive a direct deposit or set up any loan

The Fine Print

• New members: “Active accounts” are defined as having a checking account and using your debit card a minimum of one time. Arapahoe CU will automatically review the account at 60 days to see if qualifications are met.
• If a member reaches this threshold after 60 days, it is the member’s responsibility to contact ACU for payout.
• You may also contact us when conditions are met for a near-immediate payout (upon qualification).
• CardControl incentive can be paid upon full card registration.
• Loan qualifications will be met upon funding or opening of a loan product.
• Direct Deposit incentive will be considered complete when an electronic payroll distribution is received.
• Payouts are available for Direct Deposit OR a loan product. Opening both will only result in a single payment of $75 as noted.
• Current members: Qualification for payout is determined by the payout of the referred member.
• That is, you will receive your referral reward at the time we pay out a qualified referral. This will coincide with the referred member meeting any or all qualifying activities.
• At our sole discretion, we may choose to pay out good faith efforts to refer new members who do not qualify.
• Arapahoe CU may further, at its sole discretion, make immediate payouts for any account.
• The determination of these payouts will be based on member history, past relationship, and referral history with the credit union.
• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

Monthly Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about

Early Account Termination Fee

I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF
