National City (recently merged with PNC Bank) is offering a $300 bonus, and 50,000 bonus points when you open a personal checking account with direct deposit and use your check card. The Capital One incentive we just posted was our biggest incentive ever posted until this.
Here is how you get this bonus:
- $100 Bonus – Have a direct deposit of at least $400 and make at least 10 check card purchases within the first 60 days of opening your new checking account with National City bank.
- Second $100 Bonus – Maintain a monthly direct deposit until 3/30/2009 and use your debit card an additional 25 times before this date.
- Final 100 Bonus – Continue with the monthly direct deposit and making another 25 check card purchases by 5/31/2009
After completing the requirements for all (3) $100 bonuses, you than qualify for the 50,000 bonus points.
To earn the 50,000 bonus points:
- To earn the first 25,000: Enroll in PNC points or National City points by 5/31/2010. These bonus points will post by 7/31/2010.
- To earn the final 25,00 points: Continue with a monthly direct deposit until November 2010. The points will post by 12/31/2010.
While this is the biggest bonus we have ever posted, they certainly do try to make this one not worth the hassle if you don’t intend to actually switch to National City/PNC. However, most of us will still jump through the hoops for this bonus. I have no doubt that we will keep seeing a lot more of these monster incentives from banks such as PNC and Capital One.
Expires: 11/28/2009

This is an awesome offer, I will call them tomorrow and verify all of this information. If this is correct, I will “jump through the hoops” as you say.
