New HSBC Account Bonuses
June 9, 2008
HSBC has added a couple of Account Opening Bonuses for their Checking and Savings accounts.
HSBC is offering some new account bonuses.
Get $50 when you open a Premium Money Market Plus Savings Account with a qualifying deposit. To qualify for $50, you must open a Premium Money Market Plus Savings Account with an initial deposit of $1,500 of new money by 7/31/08. Their is a tiered interest rate on this account with the lowest being .20% for balances less than $15,000.
get $25 when you open a Regular Savings Account with a qualifying deposit and sign up for automatic transfer. To qualify for the $25, you must open a Regular Savings Account with an initial deposit of $500 of new money by 7/31/08. The current interest rate on this account is 0.10% for balances greater than $100.
Check out the Bonus Page for more details.
Unless you are putting millions into these accounts (why would you want to), the interest rate is pretty pathetic. Just open these accounts for the bonuses. Not sure why they are promoting these accounts since their Online Savings Account is getting 3.5% APY right now. I guess they are banking on the fact that people don’t know about it.
Free $50 Gas Card From TCF Bank
June 2, 2008
Get a Free $50 Gas Card From TCF Bank. Open a new Totally Free Checking Account at TCF Bank and receive a Free $50 Gas Card.
This promo started on May 31st and there is no expiration date. It just says “for a limited time only”. You will need to go into the branch for this one. Print out the Flyer and take it in with you.
The Totally Free Cheking from TCF is exactly what it sounds like. There are no fees and you don’t even need to set up direct depost either. You can only qualify if you have not had TCF Checking account in the past 90 days.
You need to decide if a Free $50 Gas Card is even worth it. Doesn’t that only get you like 12 gallons of gas these days? I guess free is free though, right?

$200 Bonus For Opening Citibank Checking Account
May 14, 2008
I stopped off at Citibank this morning to pay my Home Equity Loan and saw a promo card at the counter for $200 free when opening Checking Account. Unfortunetly Citibank only allows one bonus per person per lifetime and I have already used mine on a similiar promo to this one. This is a good one to get in on if you haven’t had a checking account with them before. $200 is one of their higher bonuses.
Here is what you need to do:
- Call their new accounts line @ 1-800-374-9500 or go to a local branch (The rep said that you can also go to offer.citibank.com and enter the code, however you will not see a description of the promo)
- Tell them you want to open a new checking account and reference offer code CEMX
- Make a $1000 initial deposit by June 30th. (previously you could use a credit card to do this online, I did and it was treated like a purchase)
Bonus Payout Details:
- You will receive $100 after 3 months having direct deposit or using online bill pay for 2 bills per month.
- You will receive another $100 after 3 more months of direct deposit or bill pay usage.
This promo expires 6/30/08 so be sure to jump in on this one. Not a bad deal for only 6 months of using bill pay!
