It seems there is a new banking promotion out there with $100 sign up bonus from Bank of America. Bank of American was offering $100 bonus for its MyAccess Checking Accout for a very long time. But then in late 2007, all the $100 bonus offers are gone. And we can only have $75 promotion codes available until the very recent promotion code. I can’t find anything about the $100 offer but this was very popular on the internet and I was informed by one of MyCardBlog readers.
Last time I mentioned the $100 offer from Bank of America was back in September 2007. After that, all we can see is the $75 bonus offer. The lastest promotion was said to offer $100 sign up bonus for opening a new MyAccess Checking Account with minimum $25 deposit. The promotion code is WGSUOISI808.
The MyAccess Checking Account is the most popular checking account product offered by Bank of Amerca. The MyAccess Checking Account features:
- Free with no direct deposit requirement
- Free Online Banking service with free Bill Pay
- No minimum balance required
The promotioin link can be found here. Although everything is branded with the University of Iowa, you don’t need to be a University of Iowa alumni to qualify for this offer. All you have to do is to proceed to open an account online and put the pormotion code on the application page. $100 cash bonus will be credited to account within 90 days. You must be a new customer with no checking accounts closed in last 3 months to qualify for this offer. This offer expires 10/15/2008
Please also note that the initial deposit can be funded with a credit card! And it will not counted as cash advance for the credit card but just a regular purchase.
It seems the promotion is targeted to many Bank of America partners. You can find the similar offer with NASCAR and I Love New York. You can’t find anywhere that mentions about the $100 offer, but you can put the promotion code on your application page. Yor are advised to save a screenshot for your application page.
The Keep the Change program is still valid to Bank of America customers. All you have to do is to open a checking account together with a savings account and use your Bank of America check card. It would be a great chance to get $250 bonus!
Warning: Bank of America will do a hard pull for opening a checking account online.

Hi David,
Thanks for the post. I went to open an account online and didnt find anywhere to enter the promo code….when I checked the KTC feature, the offer code box is automatically filled because BOA treats free KTC as an “offer” itself…so should we change the offer code manually in this box (which may excludes the KTC feature) or there is somewhere else to enter the code?
Thanks

On the application page, there should be a place to put int the promotion code. This is different from the KTC.

“You must be a new customer with no checking accounts closed in last 3 months to qualify for this offer. ”
If I have already had a checking account (say campus checking) with BOA, while no checking accounts closed in last 3 months, can I still qualify for this offer?
Thanks,!

Hi bitworse, I don’t think you are qualified to get the $100 bonus.

“Warning: Bank of America will do a hard pull for opening a checking account online.”
Is that mean it will decrease my credit score when I open a checking account online?

Hi John,it will temporally decrease your credit score for about ~5 points.
