Received a flier in the mail (Los Angeles) to sign up for WaMu free checking account.

There is a promo code on it, but it looks unique. So you can sign up online or go to a local branch.

Offer expires 02/08/2008

I don't know offhand if WaMu does a soft or hard pull.

Min Deposit is $100
$100 will be credited to your account 12 weeks after account opening.

All the codes listed here are "used" according to the website, so I just changed the number by raising the last part of the number (the second group of four digits) by one. It worked.

Invalid code.


Also got a flier with the newspaper today for this offer. Promo code is 1349-ADBA-2164, expires 2-08-09. Possibly the promo codes are regional? This is N. California.

And, anyone know if I already have a Wamu checking account, can I still get this offer?


I received a single page flyer in today's mail. It was stacked in with the grocery ads, Papa Murphy's, and Arby's coupons. A code was included; I then checked the neighbor's mail and they received the same code in theirs...I am guessing that the codes are regional. Olympia, WA

None of the codes have worked so far on the website (and I live in Northern California). Strange, yet not surprising.


I received an e-mail with the promotional code, and it was invalid.


looks like WAMU gooned this away. Aren't they bankrupt anyway? BTW, I entered my code and got a jacked up html page, hit refresh, same, went back, re-entered code, now tells me invalid code. Guess they figured out how much money this was going to cost them? I haven't tried calling or going to branch yet.


I got a flier for $75 to open a free checking account in the mail. It was targed for Chase credit card customers. Took it to a branch and opened an account with no problem.


Got an email from them this afternoon (I have a WaMu CC), but that code comes up invalid as well.


Las Vegas flyer has code 0015-ADBA-5962. Came in mail with grocery sale papers 12/9/08 today. Code invalid on website too. I suspect they will fix this sooner or later. The promo runs 12/8/08-2/8/09


did anyone email WaMu about invalid codes?

did they do a hard pull? according to this thread wamu doesn't pull hard inquiries, but i wonder if that has changed since chase has taken over.

I didn't ask, but I didn't sign anything saying they could.


I received a flier in the mail yesterday (Los Angeles, CA - downtown area) with promo code 0331-ADBA-5348. This didn't work for the online account sign-up, but the branch honored in-person account sign-ups with the flier.

I think they fixed it today. I got it to work.
