I want to confirm the correct order for the application process to get the bonus…
I used the referral link to register, received an email, and completed the sign-up for the referral program.
The next steps are:
1. Become a member (Tower Federal Credit Union Membership).
2. Open a checking account (Tower Federal Credit Union Checking Account).
After this, set up direct deposits, and I’ll be ready to receive the bonus. All correct?
Even after a $35 donation, you’re still ahead $115.00 . Still a win, another bonus to talley up

Did you donate and move forward with the app? I did not….

Went ahead and applied and received this message:

Your application is currently in a review status and if any additional information is needed, an eCommerce Specialist will be in contact with you. During this time, please do not re-submit a new application, as it will prolong the application process.
Question, it ask if I had a promotional code. I clicked “no.” Did I do this correctly RJ? I did use the referral link.
Clicked on the link; still not sure. How much is required for the donation to the Tower Foundation?
Great question!
