Campus Federal Credit Union is offering a sweet $225 bonus for new members who open a Lagniappe Lite checking account! To snag the bonus, you'll need to use the promo code CFCU4YOU, and set up two direct deposits of $500 or more within 90 days of opening the account. Plus, keep the account open for at least 120 days.

Why should you care? Well, $225 is basically free money! The Lagniappe Lite account also has no monthly fees, making this an easy win. Keep in mind the bonus comes as a Mastercard Reward Card, which might be reported as income to the IRS (so, you'll owe a bit in taxes). Allow 4-6 weeks after completing requirements for delivery of the card.

A "direct deposit" needs to be a real paycheck or government payment (like Social Security) coming through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) – so transferring money from another account won't cut it. If you're looking for a simple way to boost your travel fund, this could be a good opportunity. Just remember to register using the promo code at ReferLive!
