Compass Bank just released another promotion offer from which you can get up to $150 bonus for opening a Compass Build-to-Order Checking account online and then use their Visa Check Card in 45 days. My previous post “Free Apple iPod Shuffle from Compass Bank” introduced the latest banking promotion from Compass Bank. But it was ended on June 30, 2008.

This time the $150 bonus is much better than the previous iPod Shuffle bonus which only costs about $50 now. How to get the $150 bonus?

1. Register at https://www.compassbank.com/special/200808/150offer. This is the first and a must step before you apply for the Build-to-Order account at compass bank and get the promotion bonus. A claim code will delivered to you email address with which you can get promotion bonus when you apply for the Build-to-Order checking account in the near future.

2. Go to the application page at compassbank.com and apply for a new Build-to-Order checking account with the claim code previously mentioned. Minimum opening deposit of $25 is required at the time of account opening.

3. After you receive the Compass visa check card, make at least 10 qualifying check card purchases within 45 days of registering for this offer.

4. Return to this site www.compassbank.com/go/150offer and claim your cash gift within 45 days of registering for this offer.

Note: You will earn a $3 bonus for each qualifying Check Card transaction (up to 50) made during the first 45 days your account is open. Minimum of 10 qualifying transactions to receive bonus. Minimum transaction amount of $10 for purchase to qualify.

A “qualifying purchase” is any signature-based purchase, Internet purchase, phone or mail-order purchase, bill payment, contactless purchase (purchases made by holding your Visa card or other device up to a secure reader instead of swiping your card), or small dollar purchase for which you are not required to sign, which is processed or submitted through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. payment system. A “PIN” based purchase is not eligible to receive  the promotion offer.

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
