Huntington National Bank is offering a $150 and a $300 bonus for residents of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois, Wisconsin and West Virginia that open a new checking account.
Bonus Requirements
Here’s the two bonuses:
- Open a new Huntington 5 Checking and earn a $300 bonus.
- Open account by October 30, 2018
- Make deposits of at least $2,000 into your checking account within 60 days of account opening.
- Open a new Asterisk-Free Checking account and earn a $150 bonus.
- Open account by October 30, 2018
- Make deposits of at least $1,000 into your checking account within 60 days of account opening.
Bonus will be deposited into your new checking account within 14 days of meeting the above requirements.
Eligibility
- This offer is only available to new business checking customers residing in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Illinois & Wisconsin and West Virginia.
- Offer is not available to existing checking customers, including fiduciaries, or those with checking accounts closed within the last six months.
- Huntington reserves the right to limit each customer to one new account related gift incentive per calendar year.
Fees
Huntington 5 Checking comes with a $5 monthly fee. You can avoid the monthly checking maintenance fee for any statement period on this checking account when you keep a total relationship balance of at least $5,000 in a combination of deposits held directly with the bank or investments made through our affiliate, The Huntington Investment Company. Eligible deposits are this checking account and your personal money market, savings, certificate of deposit (CD), and individual retirement (IRA) accounts. If you’re getting at least 1% somewhere else for your money, it might be worth it just to pay the monthly fee and maybe ask for a fee refund for the first month.
Asterisk-Free Checking has no monthly fees.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is a nice bonus and it doesn’t require a direct deposit. You get $300 but you will pay about $30 in fees since it won’t make sense to keep $5,000 in there to waive the fee. That’s $270 with minimal effort. However the bonus is restricted to only a few states. We’ve seen higher bonuses in the past but with more requirements.
Bank bonuses are a great way to earn some extra income, often from the comfort of your home. You can take a look at my bank bonus results for 2022 where I made over $6,000. If this bonus is not for you, then you can check our full list of available bank bonuses. And, if you’re new to bank account bonuses, you can learn more about churning bank accounts here.
