The Offer
Partner Colorado Credit Union is offering a $100 bonus. Bonus is broken down as follows:
Open an Ascent checking account
Complete 10 qualifying transactions within the first 60 days including debit card purchases, online bill payments and ACH credits
The Fine Print
To receive the $100 bonus, you must (1) qualify for an Ascent checking account, (2) open the Ascent Checking account on or before 12/31/2023, and (3) be age 18–26. (4) You must complete at least 10 qualifying transactions within the first 60 days including debit card purchases, online bill payments and ACH credits. Limit one bonus per person.
There is no minimum balance required to obtain the bonus.
The bonus will be deposited into the new Ascent checking account within 15 days of making the 10 qualifying transactions, provided the account is still open and active at that time.
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 fee, but you must be 18-26
Early Account Termination Fee
I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so unsure if there is any EATF.
Our Verdict
Restricted to those 18-26 and not as good as the previous $250 bonus.
