Banking Deals - New or Current Accounts



 

Banks often offer special promotional deals to attract new accounts.  We often see local banks offer sweat shirts, ice coolers, and even toasters.  Our experience tells us that you can actually get even more if you look around, including CASH, iPods, LCD TV's, GPS, and similar. 

We take advantage of these offers ourselves and it doesn't hurt if we share it with everyone.  Please do read the terms carefully as you will be responsible for any taxes at year end.

The criterion is simple: the value of the perk must be at least $100.
