Early account termination fee
The account must remain open until 30.9.19, otherwise it appears the bonus will be forfeited.
Our verdict
Sounds like an amazing offer, especially if you can do it twice per account for a total bonus of $300. It is not clear whether you will be able to open over the phone/online or if you will eventually have to go to a branch. Definitely worth doing if it’s a soft pull, if anyone goes for this bonus then please share your experiences in the comments below.
