Note that the way the fine print is written, if you apply in June (which you must per the current deadline), you must have $1,500 in direct deposits within the single month of July or August.

However, in the end it is always at the bank’s discretion.
Offer fine print:

1.25% APY qualification requirements. You need to meet ALL of the following requirements to get the maximum total 1.25% APY on balances up to $50,000:
- Direct deposits (not including intra-bank transfers from another account) totaling $1,500 or more each month will earn 0.40%. A qualifying direct deposit is required for the remaining interest rate qualifications to apply.
- Ten (10) point-of-sale transactions per month using your Rewards Checking Visa® Debit Card for normal everyday purchases with a minimum of $3 per transaction, or enrolling in Account Aggregation/Personal Finance Manager (PFM) will earn 0.30%.
- Maintaining an average daily balance of at least $2,500 per month in an Axos Self Directed Trading Invest account will earn 0.20%.
- Maintaining an average daily balance of at least $2,500 a month in an Axos Managed Portfolio Invest account will earn 0.20%

Bottom line. The $100 bonus part is relatively easy, especially combined with the other easy $150 brokerage bonus. The 1.25% APY part is WAY too much work for what is now barely an average interest rate.
