I’m not sure if it is worth it, but if you plan to open a Compass checking account, why not get an extra $100. Compass bank has a new promotion whereas you open an account online, do a setup of transferring $25 a month to your compass savings, then receive $100 on the 13th month. Both checking and Savings are free. I see this promotion as a 33% return on $300.
- Open account here.
- Fund with $300.
- Go to branch and set up $25 monthly transfer to savings.
- Set a reminder on the 13th month, get your money out, and close account.
