$125 Checking Account Bonus at Banco Popular

Anonymous - #1, Saturday, September 8, 2007 - 1:51 PM

Earlier today, I tried to open a free business checking account for the $50 bonus (for turning in my old checks and debit card) and a free iPod Nano at a branch in New Jersey despite not actually having a business. Needless to say, that didn't fly.

I did, however, open a free personal checking account. I turned in old checks and an old debit card for the $25 bonus. The banker told me that the bonus would be credited in a few business days. After I use the free online bill pay option, I will have another $50 credited 30 days later. And if I do direct deposit, I would get another $50 30 days later. The charge for checks was $13, so I didn't order any. I had the choice of a free George Foreman grill or free binoculars. I chose the binoculars. She also said that if I bring in a friend to sign up for an account, I could get another free gift.

There is no account minimum for either accounts, but they wanted a minimum $50 to open the account.

I am the same person who posted the first comment.

As an update, I just received the $50 bonus for using bill pay.

Thanks for keeping me posted on this. Glad to see you received the $50 bonus for bill pay.

I was surprised to see this promotion still available. I just called the number and learned that it's available at all of their branches through out the US. So I'll have to do another post.
