Deal Summary: $150 checking bonus; $100 Money Market bonus.

Availability: Market area includes Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

Wisconsin-based Associated Bank, N.A. (Associated Bank) has had a series of $150 checking bonuses in the past that were sports team themed. I wrote about the Wild® Checking $150 bonus, which expires on June 30, 2017, in late January. I fully expected to see a baseball-themed checking bonus announce this spring, so I was a bit surprised when I saw Associated Bank promoting four bonuses that could earn up to $300 in bonuses.
