Tony Phan I was wondering if you wanted to get some extra money from Star One Credit Union and
message me back if you are interested or if you know somebody that’s interested. Bye.
thanks for the info! it was helpful in making a decision to open an account. i just signed up for both savings and checking accounts today (may 6, 2017) with Star One using the referral promo code!!
FYI- savings account is prerequisite to open checking account. as stated above, min savings balance $50; min checking balance $100
if you keep your checking balance $5,000 or more (and use debit card 10x/mo), it’s called “rewards checking” and you’ll earn 1.1% APY (same as the savings account APY).
if anyone is looking to get the $120 when they open a new checking account, please email me kittycatboxers@gmail.com
i also used my barclay rewards cc to fund my minimum balances. i called barclays before opening my accounts to lower my cash advance limit to $1. barclays says once the cash advance limit is lowered it can never be adjusted again. the $1,000 from my cc can be split across savings and checking accounts, but the total combined amount cannot be greater than $1k. thanks again for this neat tip! i got to open new, high-yield accounts and still earn rewards/points!
