Admin Heads up, deal hunters: Firstmark Credit Union is paying a $100.00 bonus to new customers who open the Firstmark Credit Union Referral Checking Bonus and meet the requirements below. This one is open to residents of Texas — you must be referred by a current Firstmark member (friends and family of existing members).
How you earn it: Open a new eligible personal checking account (Basic Free, Power of the Dollar, or Power of the Dollar MAX) with a $25 minimum to open; Enroll in digital banking and make ten debit card purchases of at least $10 each during the 60-day qualification period; Both the new member and the referring member receive $100 on the 61st day once all requirements are met; No direct deposit required — the debit-card activity is what qualifies you, and the free checking account has no monthly fee. The requirements are straightforward — no direct deposit to fake, just normal debit card spending during the promotional window.
Who’s it for? Anyone in the eligible states looking for an easy bank bonus without monthly fees eating into it. If you’ve been meaning to switch banks or add a second checking account, a $100.00 incentive with no monthly service charge is about as clean as these offers get.
No promo code needed — just open the account through the bank’s offer page during the promotional period and complete the requirements.
