SImply open a new account, be a new customer, and mention code

It says you need to bring the coupon with you when you open it, but I had a friend who just mentioned the promo code and it worked just fine. Here is a link to the coupon: Coupon picture here

I received this coupon in the mail when I changed my address with the US Postal Service. Just had my mail forwarded, thats all. But I'll take it. Should work in ALL states, as it says "...available in any BoA banking center." I am in Massachusetts.

This is clearly YMMV. Some branches require ORIGINAL coupon.

1. You have to go to the branch to take the deal.
2. Limited 1 per household only.

dont they make you open the account at a branch anyways? i suppose you could send in your app, but it's so much faster to go (probably down the block) to your local BoA.

You mean your friend applied online and got the $75 bonus?
So sweet!

yes thats what happened, simply went to the branch, had a copy of the promo flier (printed from the link above), mentioned the promo code and was then golden.

Just FYI for anyone doing this deal: BofA does a hard pull on new customers, and does not use ChexSystems.

What's the fees on My Access checking account? minimum balance required? early closing penalty? these fees may significantly offset the $75 bonus.

edit: info

no monthly fee with dirct deposit, $5.95/mo without direct deposit. mentioned nothing about early closing penalty.

well, I went to a nearby branch which used to be fleet bank and got turned down. The woman made a call to the "redemption hotline" to ask about the coupon and was told ORIGINAL coupon is required. Photocopies no good. So 40 min lunch hour time wasted. Now I remember why I hated the old fleet. seems like nothing has changed since BOA took over.

How exactly did you get the coupon? Did it come in a mailing from the USPS? I just checked the latest "change of address kit," at my local PO, and the coupon was not a part of it.

it was after i requested a change of address online that it came to my new address via USPS.

I haven't followed through on this (I need to run errands tomorrow anyway, and BoA is on the way) but FWIW I put the promo code into their online account signup form and it was accepted.

Went down to my local BOA location and they took the printout w/o any questions asked. Thanks Op!

they took the printout of the reciept of the picture?
because I tried opening the account at my BoA and got denied, they wanted the original coupon to accept it
