Available in select middle Tennessee counties, Cornerstone Financial Credit Union is offering up to a $250 welcome bonus when you open a new personal checking account and use your debit card.
The amount you earn is up to you. You'll get $100 just for opening the account and enrolling in eStatements and digital banking. Then, you can earn $50 for 3 months by using your debit card.
How To Earn The Bonus
The Cornerstone Financial Credit Union Personal Checking promotion requires you to make purchases using the account's card in order to earn the up to $250 bonus (step-by-step breakdown is listed above!).
As with any offer, don't forget to read the fine print before opening your new account. It's where the credit union will clearly state who is eligible for the deal along with any nuances you'll want to be aware of.
The fine print
- Anyone who opens a checking account who does not already have an established checking account with CFCU qualifies for the bonus (including existing members!).
- The $500 debit card spending requirement resets at the start of each month.
- Each month is calculated individually and you have the opportunity to earn up to a total of $250.

How to Join Cornerstone Financial Credit Union
Credit unions differ from banks in that they restrict membership based on a shared common bond, or the credit union’s “field of membership”.
That means in order to qualify for this bonus (or any offer from a credit union), you'll first need to meet one of Cornerstone Financial Credit Union's membership requirements:
- Live or work in Antioch, Dickson, Franklin, Goodlettsville, Murfreesboro, or Nashville
- Be related to a current Cornerstone member
- Be an employee of a Select Employer Group (SEG) – this includes many schools, hospitals, and Middle Tennessee businesses
Keep in mind that nearly all credit unions have a "once a member, always a member" policy, so once you're in, the above restrictions no longer apply.

November 3, 2023I had no problems signing up for this credit union. Payout was fast and easy to earn. Did not require direct deposit.
