Hey Award Trailblazers! Want a quick and easy way to pad your travel fund? Bank of Colorado and Pinnacle Bank Arizona are offering a $300 bonus for opening a new Diamond Secure Checking account. Here's the deal: you need to open the account with a minimum $100 deposit and set up at least one direct deposit. The bonus will land in your account about 90 days after opening. The offer is good through January 31, 2026, so you have some time to decide.
Now, before you jump in, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The account has a $4 monthly service fee, which you can't avoid. Also, make sure you keep the account open for at least 90 days, or you'll forfeit the bonus AND potentially get hit with a $75 early account termination fee.
So, is it worth it? Absolutely! A little effort for a cool $300 is a win in my book. Just make sure you're comfortable with the small monthly fee and remember to keep the account open for the required time. This is a sweet little side hustle to help fund your next adventure! Remember that bank bonuses are considered income, so you'll need to pay taxes on the $300. Happy bonus hunting!
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.
