$100 Checking Account Bonus at an Illinois Bank (First United)

First United Bank has a promotion where if you use their ATM, bring in your ATM receipt and open a checking account, you'll receive $100. This promotion doesn't seem to be listed on their website. A reader mentioned this deal yesterday, and I called today for further details. I was told that the back of the ATM receipt should have the $100 bonus offer. Any of the checking accounts should qualify, including their Totally Free Checking.

The bank also has a CD promotion with a 5.40% APY 7-month CD. A free gift is also provided when you open this special CD. The minimum deposit is $1,000. It's called the Sizzling Hot CD Special. I would call it a decent CD special. Sizzling hot requires at least 6%...

Branches are located in the Chicago Metro area cities of Crete, Steger, Frankfort and Naperville. The bank is FDIC insured (FDIC Certificate # 20685).

Thanks to the reader Abbs who mentioned this special in the comments of the finding deals post.
