I like to keep the Bonus Separate and will only use it for travel. Helps with things I don't book with other points. Or I just buy Gift Cards with the Statement Credit to Disney or Carnival. I know we will eventually use these.
When I have accounts like Triple Cash, I cash them out and then move to a savings account I have for that kinda stuff. Of course, I have a US Bank account, so that makes it easier.
If you're interested I think there's a USB bank bonus available for new accounts. Check DoC for details. I just rec'd a bonus of $450 I think.
Ooh, thanks! I just applied for the silver biz checking to go along with my Triple Cash card. $500 bonus for depositing $5000 for 2 months, and 5 qualifying transactions.
Yeah. Thinking of opening an account again. I know I had one in the past. Must have closed it down.
It’s actually been my main checking account for almost 11 years
They don't seem to have much of a presence in N. Virginia. When I looked it up all I got was a bunch of ATM's inside of 7-11 stores, not something I would ever use!It’s actually been my main checking account for almost 11 years
5/24 refers to the number of new cards opened that show on your credit report, not the number of hard pulls in 24 months.
Of course, I don't know what I was thinking in my sleepy stupor last night
Good question. I am buying DGC with mine for my dues. Hope it’s not an issue
Damnit! I took the $400 biz checking offer they solicited me direct for without checking if there was a better biz checking offer. Only difference is you have to do 5 qualifying transactions... good reminder, doesn't matter how long we're in this game you can still screw up the basics
Do you use it as a hub for bank bonuses? I'm still hub hunting after Ally killed my ability to add any more external accounts because of their stupid, secret, lifetime limit rule on how many external accounts you can addIt’s actually been my main checking account for almost 11 years
I'm sure most of us here have done something similar - my last American Airlines card offer I applied for, the next day I had a better offer and they wouldn't switch it.Damnit!

What is the secret rule? Ally is my hub.Do you use it as a hub for bank bonuses? I'm still hub hunting after Ally killed my ability to add any more external accounts because of their stupid, secret, lifetime limit rule on how many external accounts you can add
Unfortunately it’s a secret from customers AND customer service reps. You can see discussion on Ally as a hub here on DoC. Just search Ally in the comments. Others have been able to get more accounts added by phone. I was definitely closer to the 100 total accounts when I got stopped from adding accounts so the level varies. (I have been with Ally for nearing 2 decades so not a new account.) After LOTS of back and forth with various CSRs they offered to add one account for me. Most CSRs were totally clueless as to what was happening and when they tried to add accounts for me the system wouldn’t even let them.
Sometimes I do. I have moved money through there if needed. I have discover also. I use a combo of all three. The other two for savings and the us bank for paying bills, payroll deposits etc. I am not sure if there is a limit to accounts you can link.Do you use it as a hub for bank bonuses?
