Bank of America $500 Bonus for New Checking Account

Bank of America has launched an offer that will get you a $500 bonus for opening a new checking account. This offer is available nationwide, and direct deposit is not required. Let’s take a look at the details.

The Offer

To earn this $500 bonus, you must open a new eligible Bank of America checking account with promo code MCC500CIS and deposit $15,000 or more in new money directly into the new checking account within 30 days of account opening.

You must maintain your checking account balance at $15,000 or above daily from days 31 to 120 after opening your account.

You also need to actively use the account by doing one of the following within 120 days of opening to receive a $500 bonus:
