Ameris Bank Bonus, Earn $300 with New Checking Account

Ameris Bank Bonus

Ameris Bank, which serves AL, FL, GA, MD, NC, SC, TN and VA, has a $300 bonus for customers who open a new checking account. This offer is possibly available nationwide, but it requires a direct deposit. Let’s see how this Ameris Bank bonus works, and who is eligible.

How to Earn This Bonus

You can open the account online, or at a branch and provide a promo code. To receive $300 bonus:

• Open a new Free Checking or Online Free Checking account and within 90 calendar days of account opening (90-day period), complete the following:
  1. Register for online banking and enroll your new account in e-statements, and
  2. Receive at least $1,500 in qualifying direct deposits into the account.

At the end of the 90-day period, Ameris Bank will determine if you have met the bonus offer requirements and will deposit bonus into your account within 30 days. A bonus payment is considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT.

Here are the eligibility details for this bonus:

• This offer is for new consumer checking account customers only.
• All signers on the account must be new customers to qualify.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

This is a simple bonus from Ameris Bank. You get $300 after completing a $1,500 direct deposit within the first 90 days. You also need to register for online banking and enroll in e-statements. Looks like this offer is available nationwide from a couple of data points on reddit.
