Current offer is $300 for performance select or $200 for performance spend.

To be eligible for the offer, you can't have an open account, you can't have a closed account within the last 90 days, and you can't have received a bonus in the last 12 months. Offer only available to residents of AL, DC, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, VA, WI and District of Columbia.

You can fund the account with a CC up to $2,000 for free. Its reported on DDF that you can't use Amex. Don't use citi as you will be charged a cash advance fee and you won't earn any points. This is a great way to get 2,000 points for free.

To get the $300 you must have $5000 of direct deposit within the first 60 days and complete at least 1 bill pay.

To get the $200 you must have $2000 of direct deposit within the first 60 days and complete at least 1 bill pay.

The Performance Spend account has a $15 monthly fee waived with a Total qualifying direct deposit of $2,000 or greater per statement period OR
$2,000 average monthly balance in checking.

The Performance Select account has a $25 monthly fee waived with Combined, qualifying direct deposits of $5,000 or greater per statement period OR
$5,000 average monthly balance in checking including linked checking accounts.

Bonus $ can take 60 days to post (but usually doesn't). Early closing fee of $25 applies if you close your account within 180 days. You can withdraw all the money except $25 and SM to close and debit the fee.

Electronic transfers counted as Direct deposits include Paypal, Amazon payments, Bluebird, and Loyal3.

After transferring from my Ally Bank, I received an email from PNC that they received the money "via direct deposit," B ut now when I check my statements it says "ACH CREDIT ******** ALLY BANK $TRANSFER" does this mean that they are no longer counting it as a direct deposit?

No, it's the same offer. You get an additional $100 for funding a "Growth Account" with $20k

I just tried opening an account and when I try to load it with my freedom card I keep getting this message:

Your credit card was declined. Please re-check your credit card information and try again.

I know the card has enough to cover it, any ideas?

I never said it was easy.
I think there is a way through paypal or amazon payments I just did the $200 one bec I think that will be a little easier.
