S.P.A.M. - $50 GC for opening HigherOne account (3x $500 deposits reqd)

http://www.myonemoney.com/get50

This is an online checking account geared toward college students, primarily as a means for universities to disburse financial aid. But if you want to churn $500 a month for 3 months through the account, it's an easy $50.

Thanks!

Is this a hard pull?

Their definition of ACH deposit appears to limit it to certain types of direct deposits (paychecks, government benefits, etc.).

Any other types of deposits, including just churning a straight U.S. $ 500 through there each month, do not appear to qualify.

For those of us who are self-employed, this is kind of difficult. But, thanks anyway for the find.
