I have not updated my blog for a long time simply because I am pretty busy and there is no good news right now. The economy situation is still not good. PNC Bank and National City Bank, however, are still offering great banking bonus for new customers. Right now, they are offering $75 bonus for opening a new checking account with required direct deposit.

Here is the link to PNC Bank promotion page. This time the promotion seems like very easy as long as you use your visa check card issued by PNC. Following is the detail:

Open a select new PNC personal checking account with a PNC Bank visa check card between March 2 and March 28, 2009. PNC will pay you $1 for each qualifying purchase made using your PNC Bank visa check card and for every complete online bill payment made through May31, 2009.

Eligible personal accounts for this offer are Free Checking, Performance Checking, Performance Select Checking and the Spend Account of Virtual Wallet.

A “qualifying purchase” is any signature-based purchase, internet purchase, phone or mail-order purchase, bill payment, 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. PIN-based purchases are not qualifying purchases.

The Free Checking Account qualifies this offer and features:

• Free transactions at any PNC Bank ATM
• Non-PNC ATM fees reimbursed with a $2,000 average monthly balance
• No minimum balance requirement and no monthly service charge
• Earn rewards with your enrolled PNC Bank Visa Check Card when you make a qualifying purchase
• Free Online Banking³ and Bill Pay

National City Bank now is part of PNC Bank. The $75 visa check card promotion page is here.

• Open a new checking account with a minimum of $50 initial deposit by 3/31/09
• Set up direct deposit of at least $250 into your account within first 60 days
• Make at least 10 check card purchases within first 60 days

This offer is limited to residents of FL, IL, IN, KY, MI, MO, OH, PA and WI.
