It's not available in CA.

I applied for this account yesterday. The branch I went to is just over the interstate from where I work; this will be very convenient to deposit my once-weekly paychecks from Cracker Barrel. The caveat is, unfortunately, that CB does not offer direct deposit due to the high turnover of employees.
As long as the direct deposit is done via ACH, it counts as a direct deposit, or so the guy gave me that impression.
$150 is a nice amount. That's my daughter's plane ticket home from college for the Thanksgiving break. ;-D

I entered my CA zip code and it still showed the promotion.

It also showed the promotion for me with a MD zip code, but when I tried to apply, they confirmed that you had to be in one of their branching states to actually get the bonus.

No matter what zip code you enter it shows the same thing.
However, when actually applying online, all applications are rejected if you don't live in the regional banking area.

Does anyone know if this has to be a payroll direct deposit or would a transfer from ING or Etrade work?

I was told the ACH must be from payroll, SS or other government employment.
