- Promotion valid beginning May 1, 2026, and is available for a limited time. CU SoCal reserves the right to discontinue or change this promotion at any time without notice. Referrer must be an active CU SoCal Member. Offer valid only for new Members, defined as individuals age 18 or older who have never been an owner on an account at CU SoCal. All new accounts are subject to verification through ChexSystems® and approval based on Membership eligibility. Referred new Members may earn a $50 cash bonus for opening a qualified checking account, and then become eligible for additional one-time cash bonuses upon successful completion of the following requirements: $50 for completing qualified debit card transaction usage, $50 for completing qualified direct deposit, and $50 for funding a qualified consumer loan, all within the prescribed timeframes specified below, for a maximum total bonus of $200. Referring Members may earn a $50 cash bonus when the referred new Member opens a qualified checking account, which is the maximum bonus available to the referrer per each referred new Member. A qualified checking account is defined as a Classic Checking or Rewards Checking account with a cumulative deposit balance of at least $25 within 14 days of the Membership open date. Qualified debit usage requires 12 qualified PIN based and/or Point of Sale (POS) debit card transactions (excluding ATM withdrawals; purchases that are directly convertible to cash such as casino gaming chips, money orders, wire transfers, or travelers checks; and debit card purchases for less than $1.50) per month for two consecutive calendar months within 90 calendar days of Membership open date. Qualified direct deposit requires at least $750 in cumulative direct deposits (e.g., payroll, pensions, or government benefits; transfers between accounts do not qualify) per month for two consecutive calendar months within 90 calendar days of Membership open date. A qualified consumer loan is defined as a vehicle or personal loan funded within 90 calendar days of Membership open date. The referred new Member must open a qualified checking account to be eligible for any additional bonuses, and once this requirement is met, additional bonuses may be earned independently and are not contingent upon one another, allowing the referred new Member to earn bonuses in any combination of qualifying activities up to a maximum $200 total. Debit card usage and direct deposit qualifications must be completed within 90 calendar days of Membership open date to be eligible for payout. The referring Member becomes eligible for their bonus once the referred new Member satisfies the qualified checking account opening requirement. Accounts must be open and in good standing to receive bonus payments. Cash bonuses will be deposited into the Member’s CU SoCal account within 60 calendar days after qualifying activities are completed and verified by CU SoCal. Offer cannot be combined with other promotional offers unless otherwise stated, and bonuses may be subject to IRS 1099 tax reporting.
