$100 From PNC Bank Checking
July 9, 2008

PNC Bank is having a promotion where you can receive $100 when signing up for one of their Personal Checking Accounts. To get the $100 you must open one of their Personal Checking Accounts and establish direct deposit.
The $100 bonus will be paid within 7 days of your first direct deposit that totals $500 or more. There is no expiration date on this offer, but the small print does read that it can be withdrawn at any time.
PNC’s Free Checking account actually pays ATM owner fees if you keep an average monthly balance of $2000, this is a great deal if you tend to use non bank owned ATM’s and rack up those crazy ATM fees. Personally I don’t not have an account with them, but my parents do and they have had no complaints with PNC as a bank.

ETrade Complete Savings Up To 3.30%
July 3, 2008
ETrader raised their interest rates on their complete savings account from 3.15% to 3.30% yesterday. This isn’t a huge increase, but it is good to see an upward trend in interest rates on high yield savings and checking accounts
I currently use this account for my emergency fund. I recommend it to those of you that need a place to store some cash at a good interest rate. The account links to your checking accounts via ACH and it is very easy to move money back and forth.
You can still get a $25 bonus for openening the account with one dollar. See my bonus post for details.
