How to earn it

  1. Open Capital One 360 Checking online, as a new customer.
  2. Use the offer code DEBIT250 when you apply.
  3. Make at least 20 qualifying debit card purchases. The terms say which purchases count and by when.
  4. Wait for the bank to pay the bonus. Its terms say when it pays once you meet the requirements.

Day counts follow the bank's terms, which say when each period starts.

When the bank pays. Capital One reviews the account after the first 75 days and can take up to 60 more days to pay, so the bonus should arrive within 135 days of opening.

Use code DEBIT250 and make at least 20 debit card purchases of $10 or more within 75 days of opening. ATM withdrawals, ACH payments and person to person payments such as Zelle or Venmo do not count. No direct deposit is needed.

You are excluded if you have had a 360 Checking, Simply Checking or Total Control Checking account with Capital One, as primary or secondary owner, on or after January 1, 2024. An account takes one code, so this offer and the direct deposit offer are one or the other.
