Checking Account Bonus

M&T Checking Account Bonuses

M&T Bank is a New York based bank that has had several checking account bonus offers recently. These bonus offers are limited to CT, DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA, VA and WV in the terms, but apparently everyone can get them nationwide. I live in one of the eligible states but PDX Deals Guy who doesn’t, was able to get the bonus as well.

One word of caution to those who are not in the eligible states. Just because it works for now, doesn’t mean that M&T Bank will keep paying the bonuses to everyone.

Bonus Requirements

These bonus offers usually have the same requirements:

  • In order to receive the bonus you need to open a new personal checking account by May 24, 2017 and make a direct deposit of at least $100 within 90 days of account opening.

To open the account online, simply visit the M&T Bank website, pick your account and make sure to enter promo code. You can also visit a branch if you have a coupon or call 1-800-724-3222.

Available Bonuses

Each bonus comes with a different promo code. These are the bonuses that are still available.

  • Promo Code: QL
    • Account: EZChoice Checking
    • Expiration: 5/24/2017
    • Bonus: $200

    • Account: MyChoice Premium Checking
    • Expiration: 5/31/2017
    • Bonus: $250

Fees

EZChoice Checking is the best option. You can avoid the $6.95 monthly fee just by making one transaction such as a deposit, withdrawal, or debit purchase every month.

MyChoice Premium Checking comes with a $24.95 monthly fee that can be waived with a daily balance of $7,500.

Both accounts have an Early Account Closure Fee of $50.00 if account is closed within 180 days of opening.

Conclusion

This is probably one of the best bonus offers we have seen. You should be able to get more than one bonus for every new account that you open. You just need to use a different promo code every time. ACH deposits of at least $100 seem to trigger the bonus which posts on the same day as the ACH deposit. Major banks such as Chase, Capital One, Alliant etc will work for the ACH transfer.

As mentioned above, the promotion is limited only to a few states, but seems to be working nationwide.
