Quote from ddanny82 : i got declined for the checking account. did this happen to anyone else?

Wow, there's two of these banks near me in Byram, NJ and Jefferson, and I've never even noticed them. The one in Byram is in the Shop-Rite plaza that I go to!

EDIT: OIC: On October 22, 2011, Skylands Community Bank merged into The Bank to form Fulton Bank of New Jersey. The banks were affiliates of Fulton Financial Corporation based in Lancaster, PA.


the fine print:
*Offer valid when opening a new retail checking account between February 19, 2012 and March 31, 2012, establishing direct deposit of $250 or more within 60 days of account opening and enrolling in Online Banking with Bill Pay and making three bill payments within 90 days of account opening. The direct deposit requirement, such as Social Security, pension or payroll must be completed within 60 days of account opening. Qualifying payments are defined as any payments made using our online bill payment service. Payments to yourself do not qualify. FFC employees and immediate family members sharing a household are not eligible. Gift will be sent 6-8 weeks after the conditions above have been met. We reserve the right to substitute an item of equal value. Customers are responsible for possible tax implications.

do you have any idea what else they consider as a direct deposit except the one from payroll?

I enrolled online, then I printed out the signature page signed it and mailed it in. I got a letter back from them stating i was declined. Weird considering I have multiple accounts checking and savings.

Quote from stomach : stomach thinks this deal is pretty lame. you're signing up for a checking account for a $200 item for free!! thats not very slick to me considering you could simply sign up for a credit card and get $500 in giftcards, of which you could get amazon.com giftcards to purchase the kindle fire. AND you'd still have $300 left over...minus the $69 annual fee...yep...still ahead by $231...for doing nothing but signing up for a credit card that takes 2 minutes!!!! on and you need to make 1 purchase. buy a pack of gum when you're picking up smokes.

what annual fee? its a free checking account?

Quote from ddanny82 : what annual fee? its a free checking account?

Ohhh, I understand what your saying. But its free either way couldnt you just do both>?

Wow, worth to move in Virginia

For those of you who are interested in this deal but do not live near a Fulton Bank, please know that the Columbia Bank which is a member of the Fulton Financial Family has the same offer. Here is the link:

I would open it if not Kindle. It is just a toy.

I'd be all about this if I still lived in the area.
