PerkStreet Promotion – 2% Cash Back on Debit Card Purchases

BudgetBoy — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:48:49 +0000

PerkStreet Financial has a promotion running through the end of April where you can get a a 2% cash back bonus from all debit card purchases for 6 months when opening a new online checking account. Once the 6 month period is complete you will then earn a 1% cash back bonus on your purchases.

This offer expires April 30th 2010, but can be canceled at anytime.

The PerkStreet Financial free online checking account is being promoted as a rewards account. You earn a cash back reward of 2% for first 6 months, then 1% after on purchases when using your debit card that is tied to the account. The cash back reward is based on non-pin debit card transactions. The 2% cash back for first 6 months is a great deal since most checking account offer rewards that equate to far lower than a 1% return.

There is no minimum balance required, however to avoid an inactivity fee of $4.50 you must have activity in the account each month from either a debit card transaction, check, deposit or withdrawal. The account comes with a free book of checks, free debit card and free online banking and bill pay.

PerkStreet Financial is also a member of the STARsf Surcharge Free ATM networkwhich offers of 37,000 free ATMs nationwide.PerkStreet Financial’s banking services are provided by The Bancorp Bank which is FDIC insured. The Bancorp Bank has a been a FDIC member since 2000.

If you are looking to move toward an online checking account this one may be the way to go. With the high rewards, nationwide free ATM access though the STARsf network, and no fees when you keep your account active, there are not many other online checking accounts that beat this deal. Make sure to open by April 30th 2010.

Check out the PerkStreet Financial promotion page for more details.

$50 Bonus When Opening ING Electric Orange Checking Account

BudgetBoy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:23:50 +0000

ING is giving out a $50 bonus when you open a new Electric Orange Checking Account and making 3 signature based purchases with your debit card in the first 45 days of opening the account. Note that signature based purchases are not the same as when you enter your PIN during a transaction. In most cases you just treat this as a credit card and swipe and sign.

Open an Electric Orange high-yield checking account and enter the code EM423 into the Reference Code box in the application.

After applying you will receive an Electric Orange MasterCard Debit Card. Activate it and use it for 3 signature-based purchases within the first 45 of opening your account.

Your $50 bonus will be deposited into your checking account 50 days after you have completed your 3 purchases.

I can’t seem to find an expiration date on this offer, so get in while you still can as they just tend to disappear after a while.

$125 Chase Checking Account Bonus

BudgetBoy — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:10:50 +0000

If you currently have a user id that will let you log into chase.com then you can get a $125 bonus when opening a new Chase Checking account and set up direct deposit.

Once you log into your chase.com account, paste this URL into that same browser window:

https://www.chase.com/ccp/index.jsp?pg_name=ccpmapp/shared/marketing/page/chase_checking_011510_112911&ID=0000010110&WT
.ac=DSO10110_banner&jp_aid=DSO10110_banner&jp_avt=35794&jp_ai=&jp_aoc=HNW

&WT.pi=/MyAccounts.aspx&WT.pn_sku=chk

If the above doesn’t work for you, right click on this link and select “copy shortcut” in IE, or “copy link location” in FireFox, then paste it into your brower.

This should direct you to the checking account promo screen. Just complete the account application, make a minimum deposit of $100, then setup direct deposit within 60 days of the account opening. (NOTE: You can use a credit card for the initial $100 funding. I used a credit card and made a deposit of $1000 so I could get the cash back from my card. I used a cash back mastercard which was treated like a purchase)

The $125 account bonus reward will be deposited into your new account within 10 days after the initial direct deposit has posted to your account. The checking account must remain open for 6 months otherwise you may forfeit the bonus. Limit one personal checking account-related reward/premium per customer, per calendar year.

The Chase Checking account has no fees if you set up direct deposit or make five debit card purchases each month and has the following features:

FREE access to over 15,000 Chase ATM’s nationwide
FREE Online Bill-Pay – including our Online On-Time GuaranteeSM
FREE Debit Card with Zero Liability protection
FREE Account Alerts sent by phone or e-mail to help you avoid fees
MORE THAN 5,100 Chase branches

You can get checks for this account, note that the initial order is not free. It will cost you around $20 if you want to order checks from them, but you can get them cheaper from Walmart and other online check printing sites.

BudgetBoy — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:08:19 +0000

To qualify for the checking account promo you need do the following:

The $100 bonus will be paid out within 90 days of openening the checking account. This offer expires on 11/30/2009. Also they say that this is only for new customers, but in the small print it says, “The new customer is not eligible for this offer if they were a signer on a Bank of America checking account that was closed within the last three months”. So it looks like as long as you haven’t closed an account with them in the last 3 months, you should qualify. If you are in this situation, you may want to call them and ask first.

Costco Capital One High Yield Savings Plus Account Opening Bonus

BudgetBoy — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:02:19 +0000

If you have a Costco membership, you may consider the new Costco / Capital One Interest Plus Savings Account. I am not sure when exactly they started this account, but I just found out about it today.

Currently the rate is at 1.75% when you have $5000 or greater balance in your account which is a decent rate for the current economy, however if you have an average balance of $15,000 you will receive a 10% quarterly bonus on your interest earned that quarter.

So for example if you deposit $15,000 for one year, you will receive the following:
$15,000 * 1.75% = $262.50 (regular interest)
$262.50 * 10% = $26.25 (10% bonus on interest earned)
for a total of $288.75 which is a 1.92% yield for the year!

And to sweeten the deal you will get a bonus when opening the account. Executive Members get a $65 Incentive, Gold Star and Business Members get a $25 Incentive – when you open your first account through Costco and deposit $5,000 within 30 days. The bonus will up your APY over 2% for that year.

To get the bonus you need to enter the promo code: COSTCOMVM
on the Account Opening Page.

For more details on the account take a look at the Account Details Page

This is a great deal if you are looking for a place to stash some cash and get a better than average interest rate.

If you are a Costco member, there is also a $25 bonus when opening the Costco American Express Card

1.75% APY High Yield Savings at Bank of Internet

BudgetBoy — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:13:09 +0000

As banks are dropping interest rates many of the online only banks are able to keep their interest rates up. Bank Of Internet has a competitive yield of 1.75% APY on their High Yield Savings account.

There is a minimum for $100 to open the accout, but after the account it opened there is no minimum balance or maintenance fees involved. There is an ATM card available for you to access your money via ATM’s.

Bank of Internet is FDIC insured up to $250,000 per account. Their FDIC certificate number is 35546.

I do not have an account with Bank of Internet and cannot comment on service, but after reading some reviews it appears that there are no major complaints. With this rate I may look into opening an account as all my current savings accounts are lower then 1.75%. If anyone out there has an account with them, please post a comment and let me know about their products.

More details can be found at Bank of Internet’s Website.

WTDirect Promo – Up To $150 Bonus for New Account – August 2009

BudgetBoy — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:58:59 +0000

From Budgetcents.net: There is a new WTDirect Promo where you can get up to $150 for opening a new High Yield Savings Account. The amount of ther bonus is based on the amount that you open the account with.

Here are possible bonus levels:

$150 bonus for $50,000 balance
$100 bonus for $40,000 balance
$75 bonus for $30,000 balance
$50 bonus for $20,000 balance
$25 bonus for $10,000 balance

See the Promo Page for more details

The bonus will be in addition to the 1.76% current APY that is being offered for money in this account. That is a pretty respectable rate considering the current market conditions. And don’t forget that WTDirect is FDIC insured, so no need to worry about moving your money here.

What you need to do:

OPEN a new account HERE
LINK an existing bank account to your new WTDirect account during the application process.
FUND your new account by initiating an online transfer by 8/15/009.
KEEP your funds in the account through October 31st 2009
EARN your bonus — calculated by determining the average balance from 7/31/09 – 10/31/09. During that time, you will have 100% access to your funds.
RECEIVE your cash bonus in mid-November. It will be deposited directly to your WTDirect account

WTDirect has had decent bonuses in the past, but they tend to end quickly once a lot of people start signing up. So get in if this looks attractive to you. I am jumping in on this once since I missed the previous bonus.

WTDirect Details:
WTDirect is a division of Wilmington Trust FSB which has been FDIC insured since 1994

$100 New Chase Checking Account Bonus

BudgetBoy — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:42:59 +0000

Budgetcents has found a new Chase promo where you can get a $100 bonus when opening a new Chase Checking Account.

To qualify for the bonus you need to open the account with a minimum of $100. Then within 60 calendar days of opening the account you need to either have one direct deposit, or five debit card purchases posted to your account. The cash bonus will be deposited into your new account within 10 business days after the initial direct deposit or five debit card purchases have posted to your account.

You can either open the account online via the Chase Promo Page, or on that page you can generate a $100 coupon to your email which you can take into a branch to open the account in person.

Don’t forget that the Chase Checking account requres at least one direct deposit for 5 debit card transactions each month to avoid a $6 monthly fee. (ATM withdrwals are excluded)

This is a pretty good deal for a free $100. The 5 debit card transactions are easy to pull off every month especially if you make this your primary checking account,

Free $100 From Bank of America Checking

BudgetBoy — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:55:56 +0000

You have probably seen the TV commercials on this one, but I though I would post it anyway. The $100 Bank of America Checking bonusis back. This offer is available for both personal and business checking accounts.

You will get $75 when you open a new qualifying personal or business checking account with a $250 deposit and make a purchase with your debit card. You can then get an additional $25 when you make 2 online bill payments within 30 days of the account opening. Business checking customers can pay 2 bills with Bank of America’s Small Business Online Banking Bill Pay service or use the Online Business Suite Direct Payments service.

Note the promo codes that need to be entered:
Personal Accounts – WIWGASINT
Business Accounts – SBECASH

In the small print of the offer it says that your bonus can be given to you in two ways. They may deposit the money into the new account you just opened, or you may receive a check by mail. Not sure why they would mail a check, but it may have to do with tax reasons for the business accounts.

Beware of fees on their checking accounts. My suggestion would be to open a MyAccess checking account which has no fees or minimum balances.
