Compass Bank is offering a 2GB Apple iPod Shuffle bonus for its Build-to-Order Free Checking Account. The offer ends on 6/30/2008. The steps to earn the bonus are described at the Compass promotional page:
This is similar to a promotion Compass did last year when it was giving away a $50 iTunes Gift Card.
I did a different Compass promotion in 2006 and received the promised gift card without any problems. One negative is that I did received two hard credit inquiries by Transunion. In December I switched over the checking account to this Build-to-Order Checking. It was quick, and it did not trigger another hard pull.
The Build-to-Order Free Checking comes with some basic features. Two additional premium features are allowed without cost. The notable basic feature is no minimum balance or direct deposit requirement. The notable premium feature for those who want to make extra money is a $25 anniversary cash bonus. Please see my Build-to-Order review for more details and discussion about this account.
Compass Bank is FDIC insured (FDIC Certificate # 19048).
