Want some extra cash for your next vacation? First Entertainment Credit Union is offering a bonus for new members, and it could be worth your while! Originally it was $300, but now it's been bumped up to $350! The catch? You now need to make a $1,000 direct deposit.

Here's the deal: To snag the bonus, you'll need to become a member (living in Los Angeles County helps, or having a family member who's already a member or works in the entertainment industry). Then, use the promo code "NEWMEMBER2023", make $1,000 in debit card purchases, and enroll in eStatements. The original deal just required the latter two steps, so keep that in mind!

Why does this matter to award travelers? Well, that bonus cash can go straight towards flights, hotels, or experiences! Plus, there are no monthly fees to worry about, and the process of opening the account seems relatively straightforward. Bank bonuses are essentially free money, but remember the bonus will be reported as interest, so you'll owe a little in taxes.
