Our Verdict
Huntington also has a $500 business checking bonus we just posted about, that requires $5,000 in deposits and also has a $20 monthly fee to worry about. Most people will be better off with that bonus but if you don’t have $5,000 or you don’t want to worry about the monthly fee then this bonus much be better for you. They also have a $200 personal checking bonus to consider. We will add this bonus to our list of the best business checking promos. The main problem with this bonus is that it needs to be opened in branch. As always share your experiences in the comments below.
This is a pretty good bonus (as is the $200 personal checking bonus they offer). You’d need to tie up $5,000 for six months to get the bonus and avoid the monthly fees, or you could just deposit $5,000 and withdraw it and pay the $20 monthly fee (you’d be paying around $120 in fees that way). This is definitely one of the best business checking bonuses currently available. The biggest downside to this bonus is that you need to open it in branch.

Here's the link if you know how to remove the referral (if you can). Wanted to make it a separate post so you could not allow it to show.

This one is back, too, at least in some form. Found an affiliate link on another blog, not sure of the URL for offer without their referral ID.
Expired. Webpage still alive but shows March 31st, 2017 and emailed coupon says Promotion Expired where the code should be.
I know you turned off comments on the new post, but I think it would be beneficial to add links to these pages to that new page, prevents the need to search.
There are links in the first post?
Do you think I'd be able to do this if I already did the Huntington Personal $200 this year?
Think so
According to NoonRadar's theory, it's based on the SSN. So if that's the case if you have a unique EIN for your business then it shouldn't be an issue. If instead you're registering as a sole proprietor using your own SSN then you wouldn't be eligible. Just a theory, but makes sense to me.
