sweet. And I'm finally back in one of the states that have Key Banks. Thanks OP.

Followed the link most of the way through and when submitting get the following error message - The Offer Code entered does not match the account type selected.

Picked the checking acct and debit card as specified in OP. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a Keybank Business checking account. Am I eligible for this offer because it's a personal account? i called keybank and they said i would be eligible, so just hoping for anyone else's advice to be safe

this isn't working for me. when i go the page to enter my funding info and offer code which is preentered, it says the offer code is invalid with the account i'm opening. i had to open over the phone

What size of IPOD touch? By the way. Be careful with keybank. They will nickle and dime you. Follow their rules exactly. I did a GPS deal with them and got the 1099. I lost the "value" of the gps on my tax return. Not worth it in my mind.

$100 max cc funding.

they will nickle and dime you. with my key business checking, i called before leaving the country and asked if there were any foreign transaction fees or out of network fees for using my atm card to make withdrawals in the country i was going to. they told me that there was only a 1% foreign transaction fee and NO atm fees for non key bank atms, even ones out of the country. they even told me i would be reimbursed up to $4 for any fees the atm machine itself charged me. so i went abroad, used my atm for withdrawals, and came back to find they had whacked me with atm fees for each withdrawal i made. after i called and explained what i had been told, they reversed the fees, and told me i had been given incorrect information.

the nice thing about the ipod touch, is that the amount it's worth is a lot closer to the MSRP. With the GPS, you could probably find it for a fraction of the price of the MSRP, but with the ipod touch, they tend to sell pretty close to the retail value. it's worth a shot imo, just be careful of fees.

is it 8, 16 or 32 GB? not clear from the promotion. Last year when GPS deal came, it had 2 different models. The cheaper was for free checking but a better one was who went for an account which reqd 25k of balance anytime. By the same logic, it is 8 GB only. Anything higher will be a bonus.

Where are you seeing $100? Used?

Lowest price from Apple is $199 for 8GB: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/ipod_touc...

If the 1099 showed $150, but you can get it for $100 elsewhere, you pay 33% of $150 in taxes which is $50. You basically only get $50 in value for opening up the account which some people wouldn't find worth it. If you are married filing jointly, I think you only needed to make a little above $200,000 which is not unreasonable at all (especially compared to others in FWF). That's not even to mention the fact that a lot of people don't need/really want a GPS device, so the "value" would be less than you could actually get it for.

Good deal for those who can get it. Unfortunately a no go in PA.

CSR told me that CA doesn't have Key branches, CA people are not qualified for this promotion.

ACH Pulls from another FI through KB, I assume?

are you sure about that? i live in vt and it wouldn't let me open it online - kept getting an error message at the point where the pre-entered offer code was submitting... but when i called to open it over the phone, they knew about it, opened it, and said that i would get the ipod if i followed the terms. i recorded the entire call, so i'll at least have that to back me up if they try to sleaze out of the promo

i probably should've just done the $150 cash keybank promo at www.key.com/cash

I'm not positive but i called up and that is what the CSR told me, though she seemed typically inept and I really didn't push back.

Definitely would be nice to know what size, my guess is that it will be the 8gb second generation.

I went into the branch to sign up and the teller told me the codes hadn't been entered for the promotion yet. You might have better luck signing up for it today.

I also encounter the promotion code invalid problem and I am in Cincinnati, OH. We have lots of keybank branches here. I chatted on-line with keybank staff and was told this offer is for specific targeted area, which does not include Cincinnati. I will try local branch later.

Thanks OP, in for 2! Received 1 GPS last year. Key Bank is not a good bank to bank with, but these promos keep me coming back for more...

Deanna: The offer is not available in all areas. Individuals and businesses will only be eligible in the following districts:

Deanna: Cleveland, Eastern OH, Idaho, Western NY, Oregon, Seattle Cascades, South Puget Sound, Central NY, Rochester, Maine, Northwest OH, Michigan, and Capital Region NY.

Website error when I hit apply the first time. Re-applied (started from scratch and filled out all the web forms again) and appears to have work - got confirmation email at least. Now waiting for welcome packet via post.

No card, no rewards. I don't see how they could bill you for a service you can no longer take advantage of... although stranger things have happened...
