Flushing Bank (NY/NJ) Offers $200 and $300 Checking Bonuses
Earlier this year, Flushing Bank offered a $200 bonus on new Complete Checking and Complete Checking Plus accounts. That bonus is available again and Flushing Bank has added a $300 bonus on new Complete Checking Premier accounts.
$200 Bonus Qualifying Requirements
- Direct Deposit - $100 for a recurring Direct Deposit of $250 or more. (Must be completed within 90 days of account opening.)
- Debit Card - $50 for five completed debit card purchases of at least $25 each. (Must be completed within 60 days of account opening.)
- Online Banking Bill-Payment - $50 for five completed online banking bill-payments of at least $25 each. (Must be completed within 60 days of account opening.)
Bonus Limitations
- Not available to existing Flushing Bank checking customers, defined as "anyone who currently has or has had a Flushing Bank checking account within the last 24 months."
- Offer limited to one Complete Checking or Complete Checking Plus account per household.
- Complete Checking account minimum opening deposit is $25, while the Complete Checking Plus account requires a $100 minimum opening deposit.
- Opening deposits must be new money.
- No minimum balance required to be eligible for the Bonus.
- Bonuses will be credited to the checking account on or about the end of the month following the completion of the qualifying transactions.
At the risk of sounding like a television infomercial – “But wait, there’s more.” Flushing Bank is opening a new location and as part of the celebration, any new Complete Checking Plus account will earn 1.00% for the first 90 days when opened in-branch at any location.
At the end of this 90 day period the annual percentage yield will revert to 0.35% for daily account balances between $5,000 to $49,999 and 0.45% for daily account balances of $50,000 or greater.
A daily balance of $5k is required to avoid the $10 monthly maintenance fee. Should the daily balance fall below $5k, “the interest rate paid on the entire balance in your account will be 0.15% APY.”
Best of all, the $200 Bonus and the 90-day guaranteed 1.00% are NOT mutually exclusive.
$300 Bonus Qualifying Requirements
The requirements and limitations for the $300 Complete Checking Premier account bonus are the same as for the $200 Bonus, with the following exceptions:
- Direct Deposit - $200 for a recurring Direct Deposit of $500 or more. (Must be completed within 90 days of account opening.)
- Complete Checking Premier account minimum opening deposit is $500.
- A daily balance of $50k is required to avoid the $10 monthly maintenance fee.
