Bank of the West have brought back their checking bonus for up to $300. It’s valid in the following states: AZ, CA, CO, ID, IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, NV, NM, ND, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WI, WY. The promotion does mention that if you apply in branch that it must be in the San Francisco Bay Area, but that doesn’t seem to be enforced for online openings.
To keep all discussions consolidated, I’ve turned off comments for this post and you can discuss in the bonus post found here. That also has all of the regular information regarding this bonus. We will also be adding this to our checking account promotions page.
