Current Bank and Credit Card deals
I'm compiling a list of current bank and credit card deals that offer cash or credit back for opening an account. These are discussed in other threads, but I thought it would be nice to have a list of all current deals. I did not include deals that only apply to a limited market or any offers for free miles/merchandise. Feel free to post other offers you've found.
