No trick involved. I did one of those shops this summer, and it is as advertised. I opened the account and then closed it within 6 weeks. The only unfortunate part was the bank became my stalker. Way too many phone calls, emails, and regular USPS mail. But money was worth it.
I've never seen a fee that high just to open a regular checking or savings account. I did one for Pinnacle a few years ago that paid $50.00 to open an account, and I was thrilled with that!@Rousseau wrote:
$100.00 is certainly a good fee. But, I would not say that it is a high fee for this type of shop but rather a typical fee.
Agree 100%!!@rousseau wrote:
Every shopper should have a separate e-address to give to merchants/bankers we shop. It is a good idea to have a separate telephone number too.
WOW......easier than Pinnacle's shop! I will definitely watch for it in upcoming months! Good advice, too, to see how they are doing on their payments!@BuffaloNY101 wrote:
It is a easy shop. It is actually easier than pinnacles $50 account open bank shop. With that said I advise holding off for at least another month if not two to be sure this MSP is back to paying on time again and is not going under.
That's good to know!! Thanks for the helpful info!@honnybrown wrote:
It's an easy shop with virtually no narrative. All of the forms they want have to be uploaded as PDFs.
I'm glad to know that! I wouldn't want a hard credit check just for opening a checking account!! But they're all taken in my neck of the woods. I'll wait a few months and see how ATH is doing with their payments before I sign up for one.@HonnyBrown wrote:
They don't do hard pulls on your credit for deposit accounts. They go through ChexSystems.

I did one a while back and they paid $250. It was the easiest, high paying shop I have ever done. Even at $100 is is well worth it. No tricks.
