$25 Checking Account Bonus at Wachovia in MS/TN/AL

Wachovia is offering a $25 sign-up bonus for opening a Free Checking account by January 7, 2007. Here's the promo page. There's a $100 minimum initial deposit requirement. The Free Checking account has no monthly service fees, no minimum balances, and no direct deposit requirements. According to this FW thread Wachovia does do a hard credit inquiry for opening a checking account. This offer is only available to residents of Tennessee, Alabama or Mississippi.

The bonus is not that much, but it's nice in that there are no apparent hoops to jump through like direct deposit. Credit for this find goes to FW member zook83 who posted it on this FW thread.
