iPod Checking Account Bonus at Western Financial Bank

Western Financial Bank is offering a free 512MB iPod Shuffle (retail value $69) when you open a new Free Checking account (details in pdf). No direct deposit is required. A minimum opening deposit of $1K in a new checking account or a combined opening balance of $1K in a new checking account and money market account or certificate of deposit is required. The checking account must remain open for 6 months. Offer expires on June 30, 2006. This offer is not valid if you have opened or closed a WFB checking account in the past 12 months.

Although you can open WFB accounts online, this looks like it may require a branch visit. Branches are located throughout Southern California.
