Our Verdict
This bonus is much better than the public $150 bonus (it’s larger and there is no direct deposit requirement). If I lived within the service area, I’d definitely be signing up for this bonus as I think it’s one of the best bank bonuses currently available.
These coupons are sold on eBay for $4-$6 each and once you receive the coupon code you’ll be able to open the account (with the bonus attached) either online or in branch. As always, make sure your seller has some positive feedback first. I’m not sure how people are getting multiples of these for resale, but I imagine it’s similar to the Chase bonuses where they are often included in moving packs/or sent out to big apartment buildings at once. If you’ve received this mail out before, let us know how you received it in the comments. We’ve added this checking bonus to our dedicated page on those.

I have received the bonus $200, did transfer 1000$ from Capital one 360 account.
Does anyone have an extra code to spare? I received one a long time ago but have not received one recently.
Thanks
I got this offer today in the mail. It says “deposits” totaling $5,000–that pretty clearly suggests it could be, say, 5 $1000 money orders over a week or two, right? ie, no need for it to be a lump sum $5k?
Your offer sounds different to the one we have listed which specifies it must be a single deposit, I couldn’t say without seeing your bonus. Call or go into a branch if you’re unsure.
This bank is like First Niagara bank. Bonus posted within 3 days of direct deposit of $500 (I opened the account under different offer where you needed to deposit $500 once to get the bonus). I transferred $500 from Cap One and it qualified 🙂
Unless I missed it, neither the public offer page nor these coupons state what’s considered a new acct, i.e. you don’t qualify if you’ve closed a checking acct in the last 6 months.
It doesn’t state anything about new accounts, it just says that you must not be an existing account holder and you can only get one bonus per year so it should be churnable.
I missed the one bonus per year part; does it clarify if its calendar year?
Point being, if it isn’t explicitly clear, they might bulk from giving you the bonus and you prob don’t have much recourse complaining about it.
P.S. As a side note, your master bank bonus list is da bomb! However, I wish you’d separate the local banks truly, i.e. don’t include a bank in the nationwide list if it isn’t actually offered nationwide. Being that it’s a long list, it makes it hard to search if you have false positives as such.
Which non nationwide bonuses are listed in nationwide? That’s not intentional so would be more than happy to fix it. Here is the fine print, it’s per calendar year:
Offer is not available to existing Huntington checking customers including fiduciaries or those with checking accounts closed within the last six months. Bank reserves the right to limit each customer to one new account related gift per calendar year.
Does the $5k have to remain in the account for any specific duration, or can it be removed soon after being deposited?
Doesn’t state anything, so I assume you can remove it straight away.
