The Offer
One Nevada Credit Union is offering a $100 referral bonus to both parties when the person signing up completes the following requirements:
One Nevada Credit Union checking account with direct deposit
make the minimum opening deposit
remain a Member in good standing for at least 60 days for each of you to receive reward
The Fine Print
All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
Monthly Fees
No monthly service fee with 15 signature-based, debit card transactions monthly, or a $2,000 average daily checking account balance, otherwise $5 per month.
Early Account Termination Fee
Unsure if there is any EATF.
Our Verdict
Seems like an OK bonus, especially if you can refer a few friends and family. Unfortunately we have no idea what will work as a workaround for the direct deposit requirement.
