FREE $200 Prepaid Card w/ New Alliant Credit Union Account (First 1,500 Applicants)
Alliant, a digital credit union, is giving new members a $200 Avocado Toast & Iced Coffee Card when they open new checking and savings accounts!
Through March 4th, the first 1,500 eligible applicants who become a member of Alliant Credit Union and open a checking and savings account will receive a prepaid card for $200, which they can use to treat themselves without dipping into their savings.
To help people save more money, Alliant offers a checking account with interest rates of 8.3 times the national average, $20 per month in ATM fee rebates, and NO overdraft or insufficient funds fees, ever. 🙌
To get this limited-time card, you can head on over here to apply. Note that you must be at least 18 years old with a valid US government-issued ID and a social security number (or ITIN).
The $200 Avocado Toast & Iced Coffee Cards will only be available through March 4th or while supplies last, so if you decide to apply, don’t wait!
I don’t like when places do this free cash thing. It’s very deceptive but it is in the fine print because that $200 they claim is free you have to claim it on your taxes and they will send you a form for it
I signed up, thank you! They have great reviews on bank review sites.
You’re so welcome!
How do you know if you get the card? I don’t see where to find out. Hurry up and wait?
Hi Seana! I did find this answer in the FAQ of the offer details – ” If a lucky member signs up and is approved for an account, their card will arrive by mail 14-21 days after that approval.” Hoping this is helpful!
I just called them on the phone because I did just sign up for the checking account but The email I immediately got said it said it will take three or four days to verify my information. And I said how do you sign up for the savings account because I didn’t see anywhere to do that. They informed me that when you sign up for the checking account you automatically are signed up for the savings account. Then I asked her would I be included in the 1500 people to sign up if I signed up today but have to wait to be asked more questions and she did not know the answer to that question. And that’s that. Good luck everybody.
I love that you told us what you found out when you called, gentledogwalker. It’s SO appreciated! 🙌Thank YOU for being a valued reader! 😍
I would think you get some type of email confirming your approval. I see this, “Please contact us if it hasn’t arrived within 3 weeks of your membership start date.” How else would you know you didn’t get it unless they tell you it’s coming? lol I don’t like things that say the first 1500 but you have no idea if the offer has been fully claimed. I don’t want to have to deal with closing it so I’ll pass.
It looks like you only need to open a checking account to get this deal? If that’s the case they have another promotion through Suze Orman with their savings accounts… if you open through her link and make a deposit every month for 12 months of at least $100, they’ll give you a $100 bonus. I just finished my 12 months and already got the bonus. I was using Ally for online savings but Alliant beat their interest rate.
I’ve had Alliant accounts for about 20 years and they are fantastic. Better interest rates on checking and savings than other banks. have had a mortgage through them and car loans with lower rates than other quotes. Obviously all of this is specific to a given situation, but did want to chime in to say that I’ve been a long time customer and very pleased.
It can’t be overstated the sense of gratitude felt by the entire Hip Team for your feedback! 😍Thank YOU!
OK today is Thursday, February 17 and I got an email back from the credit union. I had to upload my drivers license or utility bill and my Social Security card. Then it said it’ll take 2 to 3 days to get back to me. I don’t know if I’ll be included in the 1500 new applicants but it’s worth a shot at $200. I’ll keep you posted
Well. Got the gift card today. Signed up around 4 weeks ago. Just in case anyone wondered how long it takes.
Thanks, Seana! We sure appreciate the update!
Thank you hip2save. I did get the $200 debit card for free in about three weeks. You don’t even have to have a minimum amount to open a checking account like you can just do five dollars and five dollars goes into your savings account. I was able to make a cash deposit through my other credit union ATM as they are linked. I called Alliant and they told me where I could go to make a deposit at an ATM machine to open the account . I really didn’t think I would be one of the 1500 people to get this as I got no real notification that anything went through and then I really forgot about it and then I got the $200 card in the mail. Free money. Yahoo!!
That’s awesome! You’re very welcome! Thanks a bunch for the update! SO happy you could score the $200! 💖🎉
