$50 for New Checking Account at a Dallas WAMU Branch

The new Washington Mutual Preston Alpha Financial Center in Dallas is offering a $50 American Express Gift Cheque for opening a new Free Checking account. The new financial center is located at 13655 Preston Rd. Dallas, Texas 75240 (972) 392-7809. To qualify you must bring in this ad as published in the January 26th Dallas Morning News by February 25, 2006. The amount necessary to open the free checking is the amount of check printing charges or $1 if no checks are ordered.

The nice thing about this checking account deal is that it doesn't require direct deposit, and there are no direct deposit requirements for the Free Checking account to avoid monthly charges. One thing mentioned in the small print of the ad is that the original ad must be presented at the bank to qualify. So you might have to pick up a copy of the Dallas Morning News.
