I've always had one checking and savings account through a credit union, but have recently been sent a lot of "special deals" to open checking accounts with online banks that want my business.
Many of the deals have been a little out of reach, like "Deposit $15,000 in 2 months and we'll give you $200". I drive a compact Chevy and don't roll like that.
Recently, however, Bank of America sent me a deal that was a bit more of my slice of reality.
Open a checking account. Make two $250 direct deposits, and get $100. Simple enough. The process was quite seamless because one of my credit cards is through them. I set up to have $250 of my take home pay go to that account per pay period. I'm guessing in 4-6 weeks I'll have a $100 windfall to throw at the cause.
More snow headed our way today...leave a comment if you have any suggestions on best managing/taking advantage of multiple checking accounts.
