It has been a while that I got no promotion information from major US Banks. The latest news was the Bank of America’s $75 bonus. Now I have a great news that $100 checking account bonus is available to new customers to BB&T Bank.

The promotion page can be found at BB&T bank’s homepage. According to the promotion page, the requirements to get the $100 bonus is pretty easy:

1. Open a BB&T free checking account at BB&T Bank website
2. Set up direct deposit or make 3 online bill payments
3. Get your $100 bonus

The BB&T free checking account features:

• No minimum balance or monthly maintenance fee
• Free BB&T Check Card with Visa extras
• Free online banking with bill payments

The promotion code is AFAAP

Fine print:

This special limited time offer is available to new clients that open a new personal checking account between 08/28/09 and 10/31/09 through BBT.com. A new client is a person who is not currently a signer and who was not a signer within the last 6 months on any BB&T personal checking account. In order to receive the $100 incentive, new clients must do at least one of the following: 1) Use our online bill payment service to initiate 3 online bill payments from your new checking account within 60 days of account opening, OR 2) Enroll in and receive a direct deposit to the new personal checking account within 60 days of account opening. The $100 account opening incentive will be deposited directly to your account within 4 weeks of meeting the above requirements, and will be reported to the IRS as required by law.
