Lily Melendez says
November 7, 2017 at 5:02 amI am looking for a Keybank offer to give to my best friend since I just received my $300 Bonus last week. I opened the account on September 22, 2017 and I received my Bonus in October 30th. So 37 days after I opened my account I received it. As soon as I was provided with my account number I report it to payroll to have my check posted the same week since the requirement was to have a direct deposit of at least $1,000.
On a side note the guy named Bill Davidson just made me laugh with his comment on June 16, 2017. His story made me crack up so much to the point of crying. Bill I think you have a shot at being a comedian!
Randy says
August 21, 2017 at 11:09 amThe promotion is bogus. I set up the account online but couldn’t make auto deposit until they issued me a debit card. Well, it took 60 days and then they told me it was too late for the “gift” because it was past 60 days. They make lots of excuses and fail to honor commitments. Don’t waste your time with this bank.
Julie Wright says
July 27, 2017 at 5:50 amHow long does it normally take to get the bonus does it normally take the full 90 days?

June 16, 2017 at 12:07 pmYea!
I am used to living on the streets and changing accounts every 6 months. Watch Out! The bankers catch you doing this; one time; too often and they set you up. I left the bar and from the door to the curb where my taxi was waiting the local PD arrested me for public intoxication. Fined me: $200 ticket – no coincidence – the same amount that the bank promises with this coupon. Caveat emptor……
Tony Phan says
June 16, 2017 at 12:19 pmWell, ok then…
Shaun says
July 25, 2017 at 4:06 pmSometimes I just can’t believe what I am reading. So you think the bank set your drunk ass up? Caveat emptor my ass. Your own drunkenness got you arrested, not the bank.
