3. Not available in Washington or Idaho."


No DD requirement. No real catches at all.

Nice one OP.... tempting...

 

[bradbowl]

There are two huge threads over at FW about this deal. It is very hot. No direct deposit required and no fees to close the account. People report an average of 30-50 days to receive the credit. Thanks for letting us AT'ers know.

 

[Cstefan]

Oh I am in. I want to drop my National City acct anyway.

 

[HopJokey]

I got the $100 a while back in Sept. for a similar promotion by BofA. Do I still qualify for this promotion? That checking account that I opened has been canceled for a few months now.

 

[compman25]

Why no WA or ID? That sucks.

 

[Tchen811]

Thanks OP! Just applied.

 

[jonspd]

thanks

 

[ksource]

I actually signed up using the promo and did MyAccess checking, was that the correct one to choose to get the 100?

 

[ITPaladin]

If only I had $100...

Someone loan me $100 and I give you $50

 

[Parasitic]

Urgh, not open to existing customers.
I closed my accounts with BoA a while ago...I wonder if I would qualify.

 

[SirSnipe]

I applied, said they need 1-2 days to process my account, wonder if anyone else has to wait 2

I applied this morning and it took only a few hours to process. So you should hear sooner, unless it requires LIVE HUMANS which means they'll have to have people working weekends to complete the process....

 

[Maximus96]

what if i already have a checking with them?

never mind, doesn't apply to me....

 

[SirSnipe]

I got the confirmation in a couple hours 2

 

[raddreamer3kx]

Not sure if I screwed up here,I never completed the application,I was up to the part where you can transfer funds into account through debit or bank account,thats where I canceled,my application still went thorough,got confirmation email,called back to confirm.

Now my question is was I supposed to put funds into the account in order for me to receive the $100 or can I put it in anytime from now through the 29th of Feb(promo ends)? Thanks.

 

[ZOXXO]

Thanks OP. I'm in for a benjamin.

 

[dealmaster00]

Thanks OP, I got in!

And to answer a few questions... raddremer3kx, it's hard to say, if you take a look at this line:

"This minimum deposit required to open a new, personal checking account and receive the $100 offer is $100."

It almost seems like you were supposed to make that deposit initially. However I'm sure you could put $100 in later and if you never get the credit you'll have to call in and explain your situation.

ksource, yes, you wanted to sign up for MyAccess Checking.

 

[Zulu342]

What's this about $5.95 monthly fee if you do not make a qualifying direct deposit every month ... this is under "Schedule of Fees"

That should have been the stipulation of an older $100 promo with no up-front $. Can you call BofA to confirm?

 

[esquared]

There are no fees with the MyAccress checking when opened online.
