Called today said no longer available. just double checking if correct?
Checked my Equifax report and it was a hard pull.
The second chance they gave me was all a waste of time. I did the six online bill pays as it says in the fine print. Talked to a person at the bank about the status of my gift card. She said it had to be six DIFFERENT payees with respect to the online bill pays. This is not in the fine print. Closed the account. Not worth my time. Do your homework with this one or cross this bank off your list.
I opened up the wrong account the first time. They did give me a second chance,though. Make sure you open an eOne checking account. Not sure about doing it a second time. Some banks say wait a year.
I’m guessing there’s not a stipulation regarding past accounts with them? I opened an account last year for the bonus and closed it last year. I don’t see anything that would disqualify based on history when them.
There’s a bait and switch to this. Make sure you open the right checking account. Call first. A few hurdles to climb to get this.
Yes that’s a great deal but I would be careful about opening an account depending where you are in Massachusetts as there aren’t a ton of branches in Boston or the immediate burbs. You have to be north of town otherwise if you use atm’s you will get hit with tons of fees as there aren’t any Salem Five ones around. I believe they are expanding as I saw one in Fall River and I think there’s one opening in Waltham but this is the land of Citizen’s and B of A.
Most likely a hard pull.
does this bank do a credit check? i dont want another inquiry.
