UVA Community Credit Union is offering a sweet $250 bonus for new members, but there's a catch: you need to be a resident of the City of Harrisonburg or Rockingham County in Virginia. To snag the bonus, open a new checking and savings account by October 31, 2025, and either set up direct deposits totaling $500 within 60 days, or maintain a $500 daily balance for 60 days.

Why should you care? Well, if you live in the area and have some cash to park, this is practically free money! The accounts have no monthly fees, so as long as you meet the requirements, you're golden. The bonus will be deposited within 45 days of completing the requirements. Remember, though, the bonus is considered income, so you'll need to pay taxes on it.

One thing to note is that information is limited - it's unclear if there's an early account termination fee, so you may want to call to ask before opening the account. If you're eligible and looking for a quick and easy way to boost your travel fund, this could be a great opportunity.
