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
* Update (2011): *
Bank of America is no longer featuring this bonus. There are, however, a number of checking account promotions available currently. To see the best checking account offers of 2011, visit our checking account promotions page.
Bank of America is restructuring it’s product offerings after having it’s stock plummet throughout the second half of 2011. With the recent news of the nation’s most well known banks (Bank of America being one of them) beginning to impose checking account fees for debit card use, many consumers have begun switching to online alternatives which still feature a host of rewards and bonuses.

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?

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
