Ashland Credit Union is giving away a $100 bonus for new checking accounts, and even some existing ones! Here's the deal: You need to open a new or activate an existing checking account, open a Christmas or Vacation Club account with a $30 deposit, set up a direct deposit of $500 or more within 60 days, and make at least three debit card transactions within 45 days.
This is a pretty small bonus compared to some of the bigger bank deals we see, but if you've already maxed out the juicier offers, this could be an easy win, especially because it's a soft pull. The catch? This offer is only valid for residents of Kentucky, Minnesota, and Ohio, and you have to jump through a few hoops. Also, watch out for that tiny $5 early account termination fee if you close the account within 12 months!
The offer is available until the end of December. If you're in the area and looking for a quick and easy bonus, this might be worth checking out, especially if you're already planning on switching banks or setting up a new direct deposit anyway. Just make sure you read the fine print and meet all the requirements to snag that free $100.
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.
