Hey Texas award travelers! Greater Texas Credit Union is offering a sweet $250 bonus for opening a new checking account. The catch? You need to jump through a few hoops, but it's totally doable.

To snag the bonus, you need to use the promo code CHECKING250, sign up for eStatements, deposit at least $500 each month for three months, and make at least 10 debit card purchases per month (ATM withdrawals and services like Venmo don't count). All this has to happen within the first 90 days of opening the account.

Who's eligible? If you live, work, worship, or attend school in certain parts of Texas (Brazos, Bastrop, Dallas, Harris, Hays, Hidalgo, Bexar, Tarrant & Travis Counties), you're likely in. Also, students, alumni, and staff of Texas A&M and Texas State University are good to go! Even better, if a family member is eligible, so are you! There aren't any monthly fees on this account, which is great. The offer is valid until November 30, 2025, but the reward will be paid after March 30, 2026. It's worth checking out if you're looking for a quick and easy bonus! Just remember, bank bonuses are taxable, so factor that in.
