Compass Bank is running a promotion recently. If you open a Compass Build-to-Order Free Checking Account by 06/30/2008, you can receive a free Apple iPod 2 GB Shuffle! The latest banking promotion I mentioned at MyCardBlog was dated back to last December when Compass Bank was offering $50 gift card for opening a new Build-to-Order checking account at Compass Bank (here). Compass Bank also provided a free Apple iPod 1 GB shuffle during last summer as I covered at “Get an iPod for Banking“.

How to get an iPod Shuffle?

1. Register at https://www.compassbank.com/special/200804/ipod/index.jsp. This is a must step before you apply for the Build-to-Order account at compass bank. A claim code will delivered to you email address with which you can claim an Apple iPod 2 GB Shuffle when you apply for the Build-to-Order checking account in the near future.

2. Then go to the application page at compassbank.com and apply for a new Build-to-Order checking account with the claim code previously mentioned. You have to deposit at least $25 within 30 days of account opening.
3. After you finish the first 2 steps, you can go to www.compassbank.com/go/shuffle and finish the claim process as indicated.

Please note that you have to finish all the processes with 30 days.

The Build-to-Order checking account features:

• Free online banking and bill pay
• Free E-mail alerts
• Free personalized Visa® Check Card
• Free Visa® Extras Rewards
• No minimum balance requirements or direct deposit requirement

Compass Bank also offers following features:

• No fee to use another bank’s ATM
• Rebates of other banks’ ATM fees
• Interest on your checking account balance
• Double Visa Extras Rewards Points
• Cash back rewards on check card purchases
• $25 cash on your account anniversary
• One overdraft fee forgiveness refund per year

If you choose any two of them, you are free! The $25 cash bonus every year sounds pretty good. However, this offer is limited to residents at AL, AZ, CO, FL, NM, and TX. And you must be a new costumer to Compass Bank.
