Santander Bank is still offering the $20 bonus per month($240 a year) with their extra20 checking account when you have direct deposit of $1,500 or more and do 2 billpays per month. It’s the first bank in the United States that pay customers $20 every month just for banking. To qualify for the $20 monthly bonus, customers must open an extra20 checking and a linked extra20 savings account, make direct deposits of at least $1,500 to their checking account each month and pay two bills or more each month using Santander’s online bill pay service. Customers who direct deposit $1,500 or more but do not pay bills through the online service will receive a $10 monthly bonus. Monthly bonuses will be deposited into customers’ extra20 savings accounts. It’s a soft pull.

I read a while back that they were cracking down on “direct deposits”. You think it’s still worth applying for this one, or better go with the 150 bonus?
The $20 monthly bonus still works just fine.
I can’t really say if one bonus is better than the other. With the extra20 checking you’ll need about 8 months to receive $160 and you’ll need to have about $1500 tied up.
The $150 bonus you can get it in 4 months and waive fees with $750.
is this offer still valid?
Reblogged this on Danny the Deal Guru and commented:
I’ll just mention the Santander Bank offer again, since I just received my two $10 deposits for the month. It is a steady $20 a month that will bring in $240 a year, with an investment of just over $1500. That’s a 16% return.
I don’t make any commission on this, but it is a good deal worth mentioning more than once.
