Nice deal to open a free checking account with Charter One - (CT , IL , IN , MA , MI , NY , OH , PA , VT)

http://www.charterone.com/pf/checking_best.asp

Open a new account and they will give you a $50 Mastercard gift card. Set up Direct deposit of your paycheck and they will give you another $50 Mastercard gift card.

Just signed up this morning and got my first gift card right there and then.

Damn!

Oh well at least we're getting $300 cash FREE from CitiBank :)

Of course the catch is we each open a $1500 checking account, pay 2 bills and wait 90 days but in the end it's still $300 free :)

Where did you see it listed that this offer is only available in the states you listed in parenthesis? I couldn't find anything in the Rules and Regulations Handbook to indicate that you had to live in the same state as a branch office and the state dropdown on the application lists all 50 states.

these are the states they have branches. I am not sure if you can join if you don't live in one of those.
call customer service?

I read it on FW forums (either Hot Deals, Finance or Deal Discussion) it was CitiBank deposit $1500 get $150 free. It would be $300 since my wife and I are applying for individual accounts.

The deal may be dead by now.

$300? I thought it was $100 or $150 for $1500. When did they have the $300 deal?
