Get $200 w/ $1000+ DD super quick (takes less than a week). Great thing about this bonus is you can do a simple ACH transfer to fake the direct deposit in many cases. Transfers from Chase, Fidelity, etc. have worked in the past. Also, once you open the account, you should see a tracker for the bonus (might need to check under promotions under refer a friend). After the qualified DD hits, it takes about 3 business days for the $200 bonus to be deposited. YMMV but there is a chance that you could stack this with another promotion via Mypoints/Swagbucks/Rakuten/etc. It tends to be an extra $150 or so in addition to the $200. Cash portal offers tend to take two DDs of $200+. You start thru the cash portal link and then you immediately switch to the link above (referral link)...in the same window or a new window. Complete the application via the referral link and there is a chance your cash portal tracking might also work. Technically, stacking is not allowed as part of cash portal terms, but some folks have had success (often times requires submitting a ticket with screenshots as evidence).
