Many banks offer a cash bonus for opening a new account. I will list the offers and then explain how to get the bonus.
$100 from Bank of America for opening a new checking account.

Minimum opening balance of $500

$100 from BB&T for opening a new checking account.
Terms:

OR
Enroll in and receive a direct deposit to the new personal checking account within 60 days of account opening
This offer is available to new clients that open a new personal checking account till 10/31/09 through BBT.com.
EXISTING HSBC Customers get $50 when an online payment account is opening and 3 transactions are completed.
Terms:
The Online Payment Account must be opened by September 30, 2009 and three debit card purchases with your HSBC Debit MasterCard with PayPass must be completed by October 31, 2009.
These offers are great if you are interested in changing banks. There are people that open accounts just for the bonuses, but I do not recommend that because to open an account may require a HARD credit pull, even if you are an existing member. Which can effect your Fico Scores/Reports.
To qualify, you must follow the terms completely! Read ALL the terms on the site to make sure you can meet all the requirements.
If you are concerned about your credit score head over to Equifax and get a 3-in-1 Credit Report now.
