Seems still targeted. Taken from the details when you scroll down on above link:

"Customers must be residents of CT, MA, PA or NY to participate in this offer. "

IMHO it can't hurt to try, if the application goes through you'll probably still get the bonus and if not TWTCSIN.

Anybody confirmed that enrolling for overdraft protection results in a hard pull?

Got a letter from them saying that I enrolled in ODP, even though I clearly declined it while applying.

Update. PayPal DOES WORK as a direct deposit, I just got my $250 bonus, I guess it just took a few extra days for the last $150 to post! From start to finish was 3 weeks and an easy $250!

How did the deposit come up as "PayPal" or it had the words ACH in it too?
My AP deposit comes up just as "Amazon Payment"

on my account - "08/13 PAYPAL TRANSFER 250.00 " no "ACH" and it worked for the bonus

"Amazon Payments Deposit"  here.
I'm a bit nervous, cuz last time I used AP as a DD (Citi Gold checking) it did came up as an ACH.
