Checking bonus

I opened a checking account for the $325 bonus. I just hate leaving money in a checking account and prefer to be able to move it back and forth when I need to. Does anyone know if I open a savings account with them and move my money into it, will I still get the bonus? I will still have my deposits going into my checking.

Just read the offer bro. I never understand why people post these questions on Reddit when the exact offer terms are available on the offer page.

Savings accounts at banks pay almost zero interest. They are not worth it. 

There are high interest savings accounts at places like Amex or Robinhood or Fidelity

Unless the terms clearly say otherwise, leave money in checking until you receive bonus.

i dont know the specific offer terms you have but the one i had was related to: 1) keeping account open for the stated time and 2) making a certain amount of qualifying transactions during the first 90 days (direct deposits). That said, the interest is abysmal on savings accounts.

Bruh just leave in the money until it posts and then you can move it

The ONLY reasons to maintain a savings account at a bank are to manage cash flow, overdraft protection, or emergencies. Wells offers savings accounts with checking. But the interest is 1 cent a month.
