1st Bank of Arizona is advertising the following promotion on the side of their building: Free $50 VISA Gift Card & free gift (in my case it was a red travel bag with wheels) when you open a new free checking account. I signed up for this promo at the 1st Bank at 25th St & Camelback in Phoenix. I'm not sure if the promo is running at other 1st Bank locations. I was told they were running this promo since it was a new branch and they wanted to attract customers. It was easy to sign up, took about 20 minutes. The checking account is free with no monthly fees, no minimum balance, no minimum initial deposit. Only stipulation is that the account remains open for at least 6 months. On the day of sign up, you will receive the $50 VISA Debit card and gift. |
