HOT LIKE NOTHING ELSE! $50 & Amazon GC for $25 from Principal Bank

[J3anyus]

I haven't received anything from them yet...I wonder what the hell is going on. I should make sure that they actually got my money and that it isn't in limbo somewhere.

Whenever I do a bank deal like this I make copies of EVERYTHING and always send it certified mail, sure it costs $4 but it's worth every penny for that peace of mind.

 

[wuhoo]

my check was deposited a couple days ago, according to my bank accounts
unfortunately i wont know if they mailed me anything for another couple weeks

 

[walrus]

Got my AmazonGC and $50 in my account too!

 

[TurtleMan]

What do they mean by account research?

 

[wuhoo]

oh yeah baby, got my amazon gc today in the mail w/o doing any billpaying
im assuming the $50 has been deposited too, but cant check my snail mail for my account info for another couple of weeks

I have a question about the "$50 account closing fee if funds are not left on deposit for at least six months."

Does that mean there has to be a minimum balance of $100 or $150 in the account for six months? I'm assuming it just means I have to leave it open for six months, correct?

 

[dentalboy]

sounds similiar to ing direct no problems will give this a try

Hmm... confirmed my free $50 bonus but still no $25 Amazon GC for me
Do they send it via email or snail mail? Anyone else get the $50 bonus already but no GC??

 

[fr]

I got the GC by e-mail.

Principal Bank is great! I've had company CD's with them for 4 years, and a personal account (with a $50 bonus) for about 6 months! Hellow $25 Amazon G.C.!

My situation is the opposite. I got the GC by email on Monday, but they haven't put the $50 in my account.

How long does it take to receive the bonus and the GC? Principal's page says that you'll get them within 30 days of having your account opened...I've had my account going for about 10 days now, and haven't gotten either yet. I'm about to make a big purchase to Amazon, and I'd prefer if I could use the GC, but if I have to wait another 20 days for it to come, I'll just make the purchase now.

So yeah. How long after everyone's account opened did they receive their GCs?

Edit: Ohh, here's an idea. Maybe some kind AT'er out there who got in on this deal and isn't planning on using their GC for awhile could give me their GC, and I'll give them mine when it comes in. Pretty please...I have Heatware

are they gonna send me something or what?..

I signed up and funded with CC cash advance(Capital One has no cash advance fees) and it was quick, no hassling with sending in a check. I chose the button, I have no printer(which I didnt at Starbucks), and it said they will snail mail signature cards and I have to send those back. Seems like a good deal, but dunno if I will use it after 6 months, already have pcbanker.com and havent had a problem at all

What does anyone think the risk is in lying about ur status. I'm here on a student visa but they say on the form that you should be a US citizen or resident.

It looks like there is no longer a $25 Amazon.com GC being offered.

Damn now I'm wondering if it's still worth it, true a free $50 is nice but an Amazon GC would be even nicer.

I got the $25 GC three weeks after sending in my initial deposit. The $50 was on my first statement. I still think it's a great deal. Although you have the keep the account open for 6 months, it's not like your funds are frozen. I just use it to pay my bills online. They sent me 400 checks free too (none of which I have used).

$25 Amazon GC offer is no longer active?
