Free $125 When Opening Chase Free Checking Account

If you open a Chase Free Checking account by October 15th, you can receive a $125 bonus.
The only catch is that you currently have to have an existing Chase account, be it a mortgage, credit card, etc.

To qualify for the bonus, goto Chase.com, log in with your userid and password. Once you have successfully logged in, cut and paste the URL below into that same window and hit enter.

You should then be sent to the promotion page for the offer. You can either print it out to open an account in a branch, or complete the application online from the link on the offer page.

You must open the account with a minimum of $100 and set up direct deposit to the account. The first direct deposit must be completed within 60 calendar days of account opening. The $125 reward will be deposited into your new account within 6-8 weeks after the initial direct deposit is completed.

Chase Free Checking has no monthly service fee when you have a direct deposit or five or more debit card purchases post to your account each statement period.

This isn’t a bad deal if you are looking for a free checking account and some cold hard cash to go along with it!

PNC is offering a $100 bonus when opening up a Personal Checking account with Direct Deposit. The $100 bonus will be paid out 7 days after your first direct deposit. The first direct deposit must be made by 4/30/08.

In the small print it explains what they consider a direct deposit, “The Direct Deposits must be made by an employer or an outside agency. Transfers from one account to another or deposits made at a branch or ATM do not qualify as Direct Deposits.” It is possible that a Paypal transfer will count as a direct deposit, however it has not been confirmed.

Offer expires 1/26/08.

Free $100 From Bank of America

1/19/08 Update: It looks like they changed the bonus to $75 with a promo code of AOU260108 and an expiration date of 3/31/08

Bank of America is offering $100 when opening a new checking account. You need to open the account with a minimum of $100. The $100 bonus should be received within 90 days of opening the account. Must open by 1/29/08.

You can sign up for this promo in person at a branch or online. You need to use the promo code AOU2612

This is a great deal since Bank of America has branches all over the place, plus it comes with the Keep The Change Program

With Keep the Change, Bank of America rounds up your debit card transactions to the nearest dollar. So if you bought a coffee at Starbucks for $3.10, they would deposit $.90 into your account. I think you can see how this would add up for you over time!

One other item to note about Bank of America is that they have been installing new ATM’s that actaully have scanners so that you can deposit checks and cash at an ATM and have it verified immediately. I never deposit cash into an ATM inside an envelope since you never know what may happen to it. With the new BofA ATM’s, the scanners count the money as you deposit it and it is available in your account right away. This is handy if you deposit lots of cash and can’t make it to a bank during business hours.
