A New Monday Tradish

If you haven't seen School of Rock with Jack Black, you might not understand why I wrote "tradish" instead of "tradition."

Anyway...

I'm going to be doing something new every Monday. I hate Mondays. Don't you? That's why I'm going to be posting a killer bank deal every Monday.

By bank deal, I mean some type of deal that you get when you sign up with a bank (not the latest "deals" that AIG execs are getting).

Today, I have chosen Bank of America and their $50 MyAccess Checking bonus.

$50!

That's some serious green. All you have to do is go to this site, fill out the application, and boom - you just made $50. I've done this myself and I have been able to deftly put to use my extra Ulysses S. Grant.

There are no strings attached with this offer, although you will need $25 to fund the account.

However, I'm going to give you a big, BIG, hint on how to really laugh all the way to the bank on this one. If you have a rewards credit card, use it to fund the account. If you fund it with $3,000 and you earn 1% cash back on purchases... you just earned yourself another $30. So that means you are going to be walking away with $80 free and clear! Depending on your credit limit, you may even go higher.

Now that's a way to brighten up your Monday. I'm out - YCC
