I’ve already posted about Wachovia’s Way2Save program which will pay you a 5% bonus on money you invest this year.  I also mentioned that they have a $25 referral bonus program.  If you’re interested in opening a Wachovia account contact me via the contact link at the top of the page and I’ll mail  you a referral coupon.  Since this will cost me money to mail please only request one if you’re serious about opening an account.  Also if you have already opened an account that I referred you to please let me know so I can be sure that I was properly credited for it.  Thanks.

PNC Bank had a $100 bonus offer last month and they have a new one this month. You can receive a $100 bonus for opening either a personal checking account or a business checking account.

When you open a new free checking account at a TCF Bank location they will give you a $50 gas card on the spot. Please allow up to 4 weeks for gas card delivery if opening an account online. This is offer is good while supplies last. This offer is good in in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Colorado.  One catch is that they require you to purchase checks when opening a checking account which would lower the amount of your profit.  Visit the promo page for more details or to apply for this bank bonus.
