Deal Details
While the previous front page deal is dead, They have a new deal [53.com] where if you open a new account, fund it within 45 days, and make an ACH (Direct) deposit within 90 days, you will receive a $275 bonus. Not quite as good as the previous deal, but still not too shabby.

Also note that like the previous deal, it is most likely specific to certain states: Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Tennessee, West Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina only. I wasn't able to find anything about this on their site, but if you get a code for the offer, it will inform you once you put in your zip code if you can open the account online or indicate that you need to visit a "nearby" branch. For example, if you indicate that you're in Pennsylvania, the branches that will appear are all in Ohio.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank rpower

Why the thumbs down? Free money is free money. I'll admit it's $50 less than the previous deal, but it's still $275 for almost no effort.

An ACH transfer stands for Automated Clearing House. Here's a link [doctorofcredit.com] to find out which banks Fifth Third will accept as an ACH transfer. As an example, I used Discover Bank to fund my account and transferred $600. Received my bonus 3 days after the transfer was completed. Opened my account on 2/27, funded it via Discover Bank on 3/3 and received my bonus on 3/6.

Just wondering if they do this deal to shoot themselves in the foot?

Be aware. We had a banker from our local branch follow up trying to sell more products and ask why we immediately took out the bonus (left $1 in).

Yes, you just transfer $500 from another bank to your 5/3 account. Don't use the rapid transfer, use the standard 3 day transfer. Worked for me.

Same thing happened to me. So...I went to a local branch and opened the account. Got my free money within a week.

Same for me. I haven't gotten the checks they told me I was going to get, and it's been a couple of months since I got the bonus. I'll probably ATM my remaining cash out of there and close the account.
