Update: Multiple phone reps are saying it’s not stackable. Try to stack at your own risk.

Apparently it’s possible to get this $100 bonus as well as a $50 bonus by going through a referral. Share and find referral information here.

Our Verdict

Small bonus and does require a direct deposit. At least there is no monthly fee to worry about. Not a terrible but, but not the absolute best either. That being said I’ll still be adding it to the bottom of our best bank bonus page.
