Word of caution with PNC promotions: I accepted an offer for the Virtual Wallet Performance Spend account in 2020 which came with a $200 bonus in exchange for opening an account and making $2000 in direct deposits within the first 60 days (which I did). I used the link at their website, opened, funded, and made required deposits. I never received my bonus. After contacting them several times, I finally received a $50 bonus as they informed me I only opened the basic Virtual Wallet account. That is not true and very disappointing they would cheap out over $150 when I keep a decent balance in the accounts, have minimal transaction activity, and utilize e-statements. Virtual Wallet is a neat product but the experience let me down and disappointed by the lack of effort by PNC.
