• Offer valid June 1, 2017 thru August 31, 2017.
• You will receive your bonus, if applicable, within 10 days following each month of the promotional period.

Avoiding Fees

The easiest account to keep fee free seems to be the Simply Free Checking account, this has no monthly fees or minimums to worry about. I wasn’t able to find a fee schedule so I am not sure if there is any early account termination fee charged or not.

Our Verdict

50 debit card transactions is a lot, even if you’re using our tips to meet those requirements. They recently offered a deal for $250 as well. Personally this offer is a pass from me for those two reasons. You can view all the bonuses we do recommend by clicking here.
