Thank you for providing this update John!
No longer have credit card funding. Debit or bank funding only
opened in TN. opened on line but needed to go to the branch to further verify identity. After 2 direct deposits within 8 days I received the 200 bonus.
There’s a code required at account opening. That should really be mentioned in the review!
When you sign up, it has to be your first time signing up. You can’t close the account and reopen in a year and get the bonus. First time account sign up only. They wouldn’t budge.
BB&T does a hard HARD credit pull. How do I know.. I’m looking at my Equifax and under Hard Inquires, BB&T is the only one Listed. ” note, its not on transunion or experian” Now they lied to me when I opened my checking account and said it was only a soft pull. I have tried to have it removed with no luck.
My family & I currently bank with them and they do a soft pull via Equifax.
I tried this, but after the teller searched high and low for this offer, she called somebody who told her to e-mail somebody and then got an answer the next day: THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN D.C…. could it be?
Too bad that BB&T is the worse bank in the world.
