I am sorry but it looks like $200 for me. How did you come up with $50 ??? What state you are in ??? I am in Florida.
This is why it is important to include more information in the topic than just a link.
It sounds like this offer is significantly different in each state.

It looks like that only California gets $50. All other states $200.

Anyone know how long you have to keep accounts open or if you have to do a certain number of transactions. Thanks

Does anyone know if we can withdraw the initial balance and just keep the account open?
From the fine print A personal Advantage checking account requires a minimum opening balance of $100 and paid a variable annual percentage yield (APY) of 0.10% (0.20% in Metro NY) as of 3/20/06. A MyAccess checking account requires a minimum opening balance of $25. Fees may reduce earnings. Monthly maintenance fees will be waived on your small business checking account for the period in which your Bank of America AdvantageŽ Account remains open, and will be reinstated should your personal Advantage Account be closed for any reason... Monthly maintenance fees will be waived on your small business checking account for a period of two years as long as your Bank of America personal checking account remains open, and will be reinstated should your personal checking account be closed for any reason. The owner to receive this offer is the first business owner listed in the application. There is a monthly fee for Online Business Suite of $15.00
FYI - The Business Economy Checking has a $100 inital deposit requirement.
I applied for the previous Myaccess checking $100 sign up bonus (offer code Thz3 Here)
I have opened and funded that account and setup Direct Deposit.
I am in the process of opening a Business Economy Checking account and another MyAcess checking account (on top of the one I just opened in response to the other offer).
I have no reason to believe this won't work. We'll see.

No, I successfully applied and used my SSN for the tax id field. The rep called the next day to ask a few routine questions about it, but she didn't say there was any problem with it.

is anyone else concerned about the extent of the personal information that they are requiring for this? I'm already an BOFA customer, but wondering if that's worth $200.
also, any evidence to anyone that this is a phishing scheme? - for example the website of this application is:

If you used your SSN, Are you liable for taxes and stuff at the end of the year?.... The main idea is to have a business name for eb@y, you know.

Any existing BOA banking customers can confirm if its going to be a hard/soft pull for opening new account with this offer? I had applied for a simillar offer last year and it was only a soft pull.
What is the restriction on cancelling the account.
Thanks PD

I would like to know the answer to that, too!
Do any of you guys do any research into these offers?
Did you look at the form?
Is there and asterisk (*) that says required next to that field?
Did you call Cust Service to ask if its required, even though the form says it is?
There is nothing like doing you Due Diligence, and you are not doing it in the least....

Minoritydan,
Check your grammatical spellings before you criticize. Did you learn good grammar in school? Did you reread your message before posting? Apparently not.

Can we still get this offer if we already used the Thz3 offer?

What is a grammatical spelling? Sorry I didn't have time to look that one up.
But, since you are inquiring, I was a Math Major.
Good thing Finance favors the Math Brain. Anything else to contribute, or do you want to know if you can do this in conjunction with the Thz3 offer?
Really, is it that hard to find out the facts for yourself on these offers? If you don't what happens is we wind up with 100+ page threads that are impossible to navigate. Just look at the Emigrant thread for example. Most of the questions have been posted and answered many many times.
Just do your research, and document what you did when you applied. Maybe others will read it...
RED. You need to put "Except CA, ID and WA" in your title.

i have this question: during the express application process we cannot choose or decline to receive checks. what happens if they sent us checks and then charged us for that (debited the account) even though we do not need checks anyways???
Just let them know and they will refund the charge.

I call the rep and she mentioned this offer is for new small-business customers. It seems they may need proof of business. Becuase I don't have a small-business I am not sure what kind of proof they may ask for.
Thanks.
