Since this promotion requires a branch visit, you can not open an account online. So this promotion is limited to residents of states where National City Bank is operating: IL, IN, KY, MI, MO, OH, PA and WI.

A new feature of this promotion is that you can get additional 50,000 bonus points for using your National City Bank Visa Card.

National City Bank is acquired by PNC Bank now. And the PNC Bank is also offering $100 bonus. The promotion about this $100 promotion is advertised here.

Open a select new PNC Personal Checking Account with qualifying direct deposit and get more than you expected, like $100 deposited in your account.

The $100 bonus promotion will expire on 12/19/2009.

Citizens Bank also has the Green$sense program from which you can earn additional $120 per year. So the total bonus you can get from Citizens Bank is $220.

For each of above mentioned transactions, Citizens Bank pays you 10 cents. The maximum amount you can get is $120 per year or $10 per month.

This promotion was advertised at here (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). The Chicago Business also mentioned this promotion titled “National City Bank Sweetens Stakes to Snare Retail Customers“. However, you can not find the advertisement of this promotion at NationalCity.com. It seems that this is a branch-only event. You might need to go to your local National City Branch to request more information about this promotion and see whether you are eligible to the $300 offer.

Here are some points you need to know:

$100 bonus: Set up direct deposit of your paycheck/pension/social security (at least $400) and having 10 check card purchases within 60 days of account opening.

Additional $100 bonus: Keep the direct deposit and complete an additional 25 check card purchases by 3/31/2010.

The 3rd $100 bonus: Keep the direct deposit and complete an additional 25 Check Card purchases by 5/31/2010.

It seems that all of the 3 $100 bonuses are easy to get. You need to make direct deposit of $400 or more and use National City Check Card to make purchases until 05/31/2010. This offer ends on November 28, 2009.

Hurry up! Visit your local National City Bank to get more information. (Last year, I saw my local National City Bank was offering small flyers about this $300 promotion.)
