Want a quick $100? 316 Financial is offering a bonus when you open a new checking account using the code RELEVANT2025. The catch? You need to set up direct deposits totaling $750 or more within 60 days of opening the account. This is a pretty standard requirement for bank bonuses, but make sure you can swing it before applying. The bonus should hit your account by February 26, 2026, so be patient!
Why should you care? Free money, of course! Bank bonuses are a relatively easy way to pad your travel fund. Plus, this 316 Financial account has no monthly fees and no early account termination fee, so you can grab the bonus and close the account later if you want without penalty. Keep in mind that the bonus is considered interest, so you'll have to pay taxes on it. The offer is valid until November 28, 2025.
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.
