Hey Florida and Georgia residents, listen up! Addition Financial is back with a sweet bonus for opening a new checking account. You can snag up to $300 just for setting up direct deposit. The deal's tiered: $100 for their Free Checking with $1,000 in direct deposits, $200 for Classic Checking (again, $1,000 direct deposit), or the full $300 for their Benefits Checking with $2,000 in direct deposits within 90 days of opening the account.

Why should you care? Well, free money is always a win! Plus, it's a soft pull, meaning it won't ding your credit score. You can even fund up to $3,000 of the account with a credit card (Visa or Mastercard), potentially earning you some credit card rewards points! Just a heads-up: you need to be a resident of an eligible county in Florida or Georgia to qualify.

There are a few things to keep in mind. You'll need to make sure the direct deposits are from payroll, pension, or government benefits. Also, if you close the account within 180 days, you'll forfeit the bonus. All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them. But if you're already planning on switching banks or just want an extra chunk of change, this is an easy win, especially since it's back and running!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
