UPDATE (1/16/2010) – The $125 Chase Free Checking bonus offer ended 1/15/2010…  But don’t despair! – bookmark this page now and check back in a few weeks because they run the free money promotion often.

Have a business? – or starting one? Check out the $100 Chase Business Checking deal good through 3/15/2010.   Also check out Bank of America’s $100 bank deal going on through 2/28/2010.  It’s easy to qualify for (if BOA services your area) because there’s no direct deposit requirement!
