So I tried to open an account. I was asked to mail in a signature card, which I did. After a few days with no response, I decided to call them.
They said my application was denied due to an "Unknown IP Address". It might have something to do with the fact that I did it from Israel.
Anyone have a similar experience?
Successfully opened an account with a US IP address. I guess that was it.

Just checked and it shows "ACH DEP PAYPAL PAYPALSD11". It's still pending though, so it might change.

Update: Just got an alert from PNC letting me know that I received a direct deposit. So it must be working.

For some reason, I just got the $200 bonus instead of $300.

maybe you only signed up for the $200 offer and not the $300 one?

I never received my bonus- I sent them a message asking why still haven't received it, and could they please look over my account as I think I completed all the requirements.

Rep emailed back "I see there was $5000 deposited from Ally Bank, is this your employer?"

Are they asking whether I'm employed by Ally Bank or if this is a DD from my employer?

So there might still be hope if I can lie through my teeth.
