Netbank's iPod CD/Money Market Promo Update
Sep 28, 2007 - 7:24 PM by Ken Tumin
Update 9/28/07: NetBank closed by the FDIC. See post for more details.
Last October Netbank came out with an Apple iPod shuffle promotion. This was scheduled to end in December. It has been extended until the end of February, however, there has been one important change. It now requires funding the money market account or a 1-year (or longer) certificate of deposit with at least $2.5K. The previous requirement was only $1K.
Some other of the important rules from the promo page include:
It looks like you could transfer most of the money out of the money market account after the 30 days. Note, there is a $500 average daily balance requirement to avoid a monthly service charge. If you close the money market account within 6 months, there's a $25 fee. There's a $7.50 account closure fee regardless of how long the account has been opened. Refer to Netbank's money market account page for more details.
There's also a combined $175 promotion that Netbank has with drugstore.com. I had first posted on this last August. It still seems active. I don't see any expiration date on the promo page and the ad link is still listed at drugstore.com. This drugstore promo only requires a $100 deposit to the money market account to get a $75 bonus. Another $75 bonus is for opening a checking acount with at least a $50 deposit.
The third sign-up bonus on the drugstore/Netbank promotion page is a $25 Visa gift card for opening a CD with a $1K deposit. Instead of using this CD promo, you might be able to open a CD for the iPod bonus and then open the checking and money market account for $150 in cash.

This Netbank iPod promotion seems to be over as of March 2006. However, TCF Bank has an iPod promotion that was advertised on March 26. Refer to this post for more info.
