MyAccess® checking is free with a monthly direct deposit. Otherwise, the monthly maintenance fee is $5.95 a month. Charges for other account-related services still apply.

1You will receive your $100 credit to your new account within 50 days of opening your new personal checking account online. Limit one $100 incentive per household every 60 days. Offer valid only for new checking accounts. We may report the value of any premium to the IRS. You must use the promotional code 100MBNA when opening your new checking account in order to qualify for this offer. Offer expires on 12/31/2006. Offer may be withdrawn or modified at any time without notice. For interest checking accounts the annual percentage yield is 0.10% on any balance. APY is accurate as of 06/1/2006. The rate may change after the account is opened. Fees could reduce earnings on the account. The $100 credit can only be made to your new account. This new account must be still open at this time to receive your $100 credit. CampusEdge® Checking accounts are not eligible to receive $100 incentive reward.

So open with $11.90 and in two months you can get the $100 - the fees which you can just eat to net $88.10?

And you can fund it with a credit card...what's stopping you from charging $10,000 and getting 1 - 1.5% Cash Back (depending on your rewards rate)?

cash advance fees on that?

i have discover or AMEX would it work?

Keep The Change

Here's how it works
Every time you buy something with your Bank of America debit card, we'll round up the change to the nearest dollar amount - and transfer it to your savings account. So you get to keep the change and grow your savings.

We'll chip in, too
For the first 90 days, we'll add 100% to your Keep the Change savings. That means for every Keep the Change transfer, we'll contribute the same amount to your account. And when 90 days are over, we'll continue contributing 5% a year, every year.

I believe the maximum funding allowed by CC is $1,000.

They always pulled my TU for this. I think it depends on the US region where you are residing.

Don't put too much weight on what the BofA CSRs are saying, they are often clueless.

Had they pulled all 3 CRAs, I'd be closing tomorrow all my accounts with them. But it's not the case.

what qualify as a direct deposit? is it a cash deposit or a fund transfer? if so, does a transfer from paypal count as a direct deposit to avoid the fees?

"Limit one $100 incentive per household every 60 days. Offer valid only for new checking accounts." does it mean that i can open a checking account, cancel after 60 days and open up a new one?? if so, then it's 100 bucks every 2 months.
