$200 Checking Account Bonus from National City Bank Online
National City Bank is running another huge checking account bonus promotion which will give you $200 bonus for opening a checking account online with qualified direct deposit. One week ago, I reported that National City Bank was offering $150 bonus for opening a checking account online with direct deposit. That promotion was scheduled to end on October 22, 2008. But now National City Bank extends this checking account promotion to October 31, 2008 and increases the bonus to $200.
The promotion page can be found at www.nationalcity.com/cash. This is a web-only promotion and not available in the local branches. If you want to open a new checking account at National City Bank, you have to apply for a National City checking account online.
Details about this promotion:
- Open a new personal checking account online by 10/31/2008 with a minimum initial deposit of $50
- Establish a direct deposit to your checking account of at least $250 or more and a Visa® CheckCard* issued to you within 60 days of account opening
- Limit of one bonus per household and available only to households without an existing National City checking account
- $200 bonus will be credited to your account within 60 days after all conditions have been met
- Your account must be open to receive the bonus
National City checking accounts feature:
- Unlimited transactions
- Free Visa® CheckCard
- Free Online Banking
- Free Online Bill Payment
- Personal savings account (with no monthly maintenance
- fee and no minimum balance)
- Free online statements
- Free banking rewards program – points from National City®
National City Bank is one of the largest regional banks, so this promotion is limited to the residents of states where National City has business. National City branches located in IL, MI, IN, FL, KY, MO, OH, WI and PA.
This is no hard inquiry during the account opening process. But National City will check the ChexSystems.
National City Bank is seeking more capital from US government and other sources. Running checking account bonus with direct deposit is a way to attract more new customers and thus increase the deposits. I doubt whether there will be a $250 checking account bonus in the near future.









wow, just heard that National City was sold. i don’t what will happen to this promotion…
…..Too bad, I already have an account from them.
It’s too bad. I already made an account in 10/21/08 for $150 bonus.
Hi,
“Limit of one bonus per household and available only to households without an existing National City checking account” means “Limit of one bonus per household and available only to households without any checking history with National City”. Just got this information via online chat with National City representative.
