$75 Checking Account Bonus (no DD Required) at Marquette Bank

POSTED ON BY

Marquette Bank is offering up to $75 in gift cards for opening its Totally Free Checking Account. The bank will give $25 in gift cards when you open the account, and another $50 in gift cards if you activate one or more of the following: 1) online statements, 2) online bill payment, or 3) direct deposit. After 60 days, they'll mail you the $50 gift card. Note, only one of the three is required. So just activating online statements should allow you to qualify. For bank bonuses, it doesn't get much easier than this.

Refer to the bank's special offers page for a link to the PDF promo page and for the link to the online application. I just used the bank's online chat service for some additional details. According to the CSR, they do accept out-of-state online applications, and out-of-state applicants would also qualify for this promotion [Update: A reader has reported being told by the CSR that only IL residents are eligible.] The one downside is that there might be a hard credit inquiry which can temporarily ding your credit score. According to the CSR: "We do run a credit report and check systems when the application is received."

This promotion has been going on for a while. I first reported on it in March 2009 before they had an online application. Credit to this FW thread for noting it's still available.

Branches are located throughout Chicago and its suburbs. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1945 (FDIC Certificate # 16250).
