Earn $200 after opening TD Complete Checking and receiving qualifying direct deposits.
This is a classic checking-bonus execution page: the upside is meaningful if qualifying direct deposit is easy for you and the bonus still clears fees. The model lands at about $185 net, so the decision is really about operational fit, not just the headline.

Good Fit If
Who should actually do this
You can route at least $500 in qualifying direct deposit without disrupting your main bank setup.
You prefer offers that do not require a meaningful opening balance.
You can keep another checking account open for about ~4 months without needing a quick exit.
Think Twice If
Where this can get annoying
Your current direct deposit setup makes qualifying direct deposit hard to move or verify.
You prefer faster-turn bonuses instead of multi-month hold periods.
Missing the fee waiver would eat about $15 of the modeled value.
Watch For
Failure points before you start
The offer depends on qualifying direct deposits totaling at least $500.
Do not treat the account as finished until roughly day 120; early closure can wipe out the payout.
Estimated net value already assumes about $15 in fees, so missed waivers can shrink real value further.
