Basically, you go Open account, get incentive bonus money. then open another account and repeat.
in full transparency, i just dont think its worth it given the amounts necessary and your restrictions on that money. To put in in comparison, chase had a promotion where you open an account with $20,000 (and keep your money there for 2 months) and they would give you $300.
yes it is “free money”. But keep in mind that you still had to remove that 20k from an interest bearing account elsewhere like a brokerage acc or roth acc or 401k acc or a bussiness checking acc , etc.
For me personally, just keeping that same 20k in the brokerage account and not going through the hassle of moving money around will net me 2% per month. Or $400.00. And i dont need to do anything whatsoever to make this amount in my charles schwab account. Neither am i limited to holding it in one account or investment vehicle.
i think its a good idea if you move to a new location and happen to need a new bank account; however, i dont see the practicality of going out of your way to churn them. You can make better money elsewhere, doing no work.
