If anyone is interested, I have extra codes. I get them in the mail monthly.

Jack - NJ If you still have one, can you send it my way? I plan to open Jan 10-14, 2020 while on vacation. Thank you! Sassenav.helpsATgmailDOTcom

BTW, I opened an account today (at a local branch) and the banker told me they have a CD special 0f 2.5% for 9 months that can be used as part of the $20,000 deposit balance requirement for the $300 second part of the bonus. It appears that the CD can only be opened in the branch. YMMV.

sound like a good option to park 20k while waiting for the promotional bonus.
which region did you open your a/c?

I got one of these last month but couldn’t take advantage of it since I closed my previous Fifth Third account in late July 2018. Hopefully they’ll keep sending these mailers so I can do the bonus when I’m eligible again.

I did this offer last month and it was a painless in-branch experience. A couple of additional comments:

-The banker offered another option for $25K deposit into a MM account with 2% rate. So $25.5K total and same bonus. I’m not sure if this offer is still available.

-There is another flyer out for $250 + $250 on $15K deposit. That was a targeted mailer to our address.

-No name was on either flyer, just our home address.

I actually received this offer in one of the snail-mail “Valpak” envelopes that are always addressed to “occupant” so it’s not specifically directed to anyone.

Yep, that’s how I got it.

Charles Mann – was there a coupon code? What state are you in?

I am in Illinois. The code is specific to the mailer, but not addressed to me as an individual. I opened an account today and the banker told me it could not be used again.

I signed up at a branch a year ago for the $250 offer and was told there would be an early termination fee if I cancelled within 6 months. I don’t remember what that amount was though. I ended up cancelling after 6 months from account opening at the branch without any issues.

Got this offer as well and will be taking advantage of it. My guess it that they are targeting areas with former MB Financial branches since they just acquired them.

I was an MBF customer and took advantage of a Fifth Third bonus late last year figuring I was going to end up with them anyway. Worst bank ever service-wise. Closed the newly opened one and my MBF last week before the transition. 🙂

The bonus pays out easy enough though. Opened with $1500 and didn’t touch it, bonus paid out in 30 days.

edit to correct 60 days, not 30.

If you can’t reach the $1500 balance requirement to waive the $11 monthly fee, it can still be reduced to $8 a month with monthly direct deposits totaling $500 or more.

I think there are other checking account options also available, check out their website.
