Referral Links – Free $$$

Welcome to my referral links page. Most of my offers are for those in the United States. I hold accounts at all of these institutions and have had decent luck with them (YMMV). This page is not intended to serve as any form of financial advice and I’m not a financial advisor. Do your own research before opening any of these accounts. Thanks for using my links – Pete (SuperBankOfferMan). – AKA “Peek” – If you need to reach you can email me at super bank offer (remove spaces) at Gmail.

Currently Active Bonuses as of 03/16/2025

Berkshire Bank – Total of $400 offer, $100 Referral, $300 Direct Deposit Offer – MA, CT, VT, NY, RI

You get $100 for using a referral plus $300 for the public direct deposit offer. Total is $400. Direct deposit must be for 3 consecutive months. Referral offer ends 6/30/25, Public offer ends 7/31/25.

Important Note: The Direct Deposit needs to be setup using their pinwheel app within online banking. I did this before it was required so I’m not sure if you just use the app but print out a form if that will count. If you have questions about this ask the bank. Real direct deposit is likely required as this is a small bank that likely does manual review.

  1. Open the account through my link: https://open.berkshirebank.com/consumer/welcome?referral_code=tgv246
  2. Setup direct deposit of at least $1000 total each month, can be in multiple deposits. Keep this up for 3 consecutive months.
  3. The calendar month following the third qualifying direct deposit, Berkshire Bank will credit $300 into the customer’s Berkshire One Checking account set up using Direct Deposit. The client will see the credit reflected in their statement with the description “Direct Deposit 1H2025 Credit.” Direct Deposit credits may be reportable to the IRS on Form 1099-MISC.

  3. If you aren’t in footprint you can join CAFO and still qualify, you don’t seem to be charged for the membership.
  4. You’ll be sent a link after approval that will give you your member number, make sure and save it.

  6. Turn on e-statements, it’s like a separate enrollment with a different password. Required for the bonus.
  7. No hard pull on credit but does hit Chex. I got approved with quite high Chex numbers.
