Thanks for sharing this. I totally agree with what you're saying.
I once earned a bank bonus one time from a local CU here in Pittsburgh back in 2016. Clearview FCU - DoC posts about their checking bonus every so often. I found a coupon for a $200 bonus on our Kennywood Map (local amusement park). Both my wife and I did it and then 9 months later or whatever, we had to go into the branch to close the account. I felt SO dirty closing that account...and at that time I stopped doing local bank bonuses. It just didn't sit right with me...I wouldn't impart my morals on others and I wouldn't take it upon myself to blow the whistle on such activities, but I for one will not participate now.
I have no problem sticking it to the man, kind of what churning is anyway. But I wouldn't mess with a non profit unless Iegit wanted the account. Probably feel the same about some small community banks. If they don't have the money to spend on tv or radio commercials or sponsoring sports or community stuff in the area then I wouldn't feel right unless I wanted the account.
