The only $50 deal I could find is outside of your affiliate link; it requires a $250 initial deposit and a bucketload of non-PIN transactions. Either way, doesn’t currently seem worth the hassle.

You more then likely will not get the bonus. There system is junk. Bonus does not get applied to every account because of software glitches. “Thanks for your email; I apologize for the trouble.

I work for PerkStreet and, as Ecky says, we are encouraging people to give us a try. We offer more free ATMs than Bank of America and other banks (we have 37,000) and we offer 10x more rewards on debit than the average card. Laurie McLachlan PerkStreet Financial Hi.

Just signed up. As Ashely mentioned, most bonuses these days requires a much larger deposit. I assume they're just trying to get us to give the checking account + debit card a whirl.

I haven't seen anything that good in a long time either. Most bonuses require you to deposit a much larger number. Awesome deal! I haven’t seen anything that good in a long time either.
