you wish! it states one bonus for one address per 60 days period. you could keep 2 accounts but only get bonus once.

can i only sign up for regular checking and recieved the $100?

...i do not want a svaings account

What did they say when you called customer service and asked?

Is this for existing customers only??

I don't have a BofA account, but would like to get in on this.

No Guts, No Glory!

now, would a transfer from another bank count as Direct Deposit (to waive the fee on the MyAccess checking accnt)?

What did the thread on transfers from other banks counting as direct deposits say?

What did you say when you called and asked?

^^ I did not call + ask. I asked an online rep, and he told me it would work even though I am not a current customer.

and i dunno what the thread about direct deposits said obviously, why else would I be asking?

x43b,

wow! you've really contributed a lot to this thread. Thanks!

for everyone else, ACH push does count as Direct Deposit.

I used Thz3. Confirmed it would work for new customer via online chat.

So if I wanted to do this on super cheap/FW way, I would:

1. Open a regular checking account with a 0% balance transfer check (and no fees) for $1025.
2. Open a regular savings account for $25 (my money).
3. Transfer $275 to the savings. Now both accounts will be funed to the min req for no fees- $300 for savings, $750 for checking.
4. Get $125 bonus money after 30 days
5. Wait 180 days for promotional time to clear, close acconts and pay off BT.
6. Pocket $125+$25+interest on $300 (around $.074).

15 pages of fee schedule--scary.

12 years ago I schmoozed the Asst branch Manager at my branch and have not seen a monthly fee on my (and my wife's) interest checking accounts since ... even though she (the Asst branch Manager--not my wife) has long moved on.

Now THAT's a good promo. Promo code "Social Engineering".

How did you fund your account for $30,000 using credit card? Isn't the maximum you can fund with credit card $1000 for checking and $100 for savings?

I did this, but with a variation. I have a credit card with a high limit. What I did was fund BofA account for $30,000 combined in savings and checkings, with 1.5% Cash Back ($450 back), get the $125 in 30 days. =)
