$100 Cash & Flip Video Bonus at Flushing Bank in New York City - Local Only

Flushing Bank is offering a new checking account promotion. Unlike the one in January, this one requires opening the bank's BestRate Checking. The free checking doesn't qualify. There are three bonuses that you can earn. Also, there's a 3-month intro rate of 1.30% APY. The bonuses and requirements include:

• $50 for 5 debit card transactions of $25 or more
• $50 for 5 bill pays online of $25 or more OR for recurring Direct Deposit of $250
• 16G Flip Video SlideHD for an opening balance of $25K

The promotion is scheduled to end on June 1, 2011. Refer to the bank's promotion page for all the details. For details on the BestRate Checking, refer to the bank's checking comparison page. As I mentioned above, it's not a free checking. There's a $10 monthly fee for balances under $5K.

Branch Locations

It appears that a branch visit is required to open the BestRate Checking. Flushing branches are located in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Nassau in New York.

The bank has an internet division called iGObanking.com which also includes the site GiftsforBanking.com (see review).
