Receive $50 when you open a new checking account with Bank of America
Bank of America is offering new customers $50.00 for registering a new checking account with them. I guess they had this promo going on a while ago but recently extended it for another month (expiration Jan. 31, 2009). This is a pretty solid deal because you only need $100.00 to be eligible for this promo!!
Here are the details:
To receive your $50, apply online or go to your nearest banking center. Use offer code AOU261108, and open a personal checking account before January 31, 2009
Here is the link: http://www.bankofamerica.com/promos/jump/uspsmovers/. Good Luck!
Terms and Conditions:
Offer expires 1/31/09 and is available through our online application or in any Bank of America banking center. Offer does not apply to second or multiple checking accounts and/or existing checking customers. Student checking accounts are not eligible for this offer. Bank of America associates are not eligible for this offer. All accounts are subject to our normal approval process. This form must be presented at the time the account is opened if account is opened in a banking center. This minimum deposit required to open a new, personal checking account and receive the $50 offer is $100. We will make every attempt to directly deposit the $50 into your new Bank of America checking account. If for any reason we are unable to do so, a check will be issued as a replacement. We will deposit the money within 90 days of opening your new account. Limit one check per household. To the extent required by law, Bank of America will report the value of the offer to the IRS on Form 1099. Any applicable taxes are the responsibility of the account holder. For interest-bearing personal checking accounts, the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is 0.05% as of 10/14/08 for any account balance. The rate may change after the account is opened. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. Please consult a Banking Center, visit bankofamerica.com or see the Personal Schedule of Fees for other account fees, rates and information.

Here is a promo from CHASE. When you open a CHASE Free Checking account and set up Direct Deposit, you will receive a $125 deposit from CHASE into your account.
I used this promo in June and Chase is still doing this.
You can open this account on-line. To get the deal use the following Coupon Code: 3302697030420017
If, instead you prefer to open an account at your local branch, you will need to present the coupon to a banker at your local Chase branch. While I could mail your the coupon, I think less of a hassle is to go with an on-line application. On the side note - I got this coupon/promotion from the USPS change of address package at the post office located in Upstate New York (they typically have a bunch offers there for those on the move, like cell telephone companies, retailers like HomeDepot, and more recently - banking services).
Additional info:
1. Offer valid through 01/31/2009.
2. To qualify for the offer you must open a new Chase Free Checking (no monthly service fee; on-line access) with a $100 minimum opening deposit of new money (money not currently held by Chase or its affiliates).
3. The $125 bonus is not available to customers with an existing Chase checking account.
4. Within 60 calendar days of account opening, you must initiate a monthly direct deposit such as payroll, pension or Social Security, or other gov benefits (or other kinds of direct deposits, such as disbursement coming from amazon.com, ebay, craig list, etc. seller accounts).
5. The $125 bonus will be deposited intoyour new account within six weeks after the initial direct deposit has posted to your account.
Good luck!

Hey Aleksey,
Do you have a link for the Chase Deal?
December 14th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Sammuel,
Here is CHASE policy on special offers - I am copying this from https://www.chase.com/psmhelp/index.jsp?pg_name=ccpmapp/shared/help/page/Coupon_Offer
If an offer you’ve received online or in the mail includes a coupon, you can redeem it at your local branch. And now most products are even available online. Here’s how you can redeem:
To redeem at a branch, remember to take the mailing or a print out of the offer with you. Please do not cut out the coupon. You’ll need the entire offer.
To redeem online, look for the green button next to each product offering on chase.com/checking. If available, click the button and enter the 16-digit coupon code printed on the offer in the Account Options section. See below for an image of this section in the online application.
I can also mail you the actual coupon if you wish…
Let me know!
Best…Aleksey
