[1] Advantage Plus Checking Account $200 New Account Cash Bonus In order to be eligible to obtain the cash bonuses, you must open a New Advantage Plus Checking Account. You will receive a one-time new account $150 cash credit to your Advantage Plus Checking Account after we have verified qualifying direct deposit transactions that total at least $1,000 posted to your Advantage Plus Checking Account within 60 days after the date you opened the new account. The $150 will be credited to your account within 60 days after we have determined that you satisfied this requirement. Only one new account $150 credit will be made in total for qualifying direct deposit activity to this account within the first 60 days of account opening. You will receive a one-time new account $50 cash credit to your Advantage Plus Checking account after we have verified that 10 qualifying POS debit card transactions not including ATM withdrawals have been made with your Advantage Plus Columbia Bank debit card and those transactions post and settle to your Advantage Plus Checking Account within 60 days of the new account opening. The $50 credit will be credited to your account within 60 days after we have determined that you have satisfied this requirement. Only one new account $50 credit will be made in total for the qualifying Advantage Plus debit card activity. A “qualifying POS debit card transaction” is any Columbia Bank Debit Card transaction that requires either a signature or PIN at the point-of-sale. Please note that ATM withdrawals and online bill payments are not considered qualifying POS debit card transactions. Total $200 per person: If you have ever received a new account opening bonus in the past, you are not eligible for either of the cash bonuses even if you open a new Advantage Plus Checking Account. You are permitted to receive only one of each of these new account bonuses irrespective of the number or type of checking accounts you open. To receive any of the aforementioned new account bonuses, the account must still be open at the time we are ready to credit the funds and at all times the account was in good standing. The new account cash bonuses will be reported as interest to the IRS on form 1099-INT.
