Schertz Bank & Trust in Texas is offering a $300 bonus for opening a new DirectPLUS Checking Account. To snag the bonus, you'll need to set up direct deposits totaling $500 or more per month and maintain a minimum daily balance of $500 for at least 90 days. It looks like you have to contact them to start the process. Why should you care? Well, $300 is a pretty sweet deal for meeting those requirements, especially if you already have direct deposit set up. There's a small $5 monthly fee, but you can easily avoid it by keeping your balance above $500. While it's unclear if there's an early account termination fee, if you're planning to keep the account open for a while, it's likely not an issue. Since bank bonuses are considered income, remember you'll need to pay taxes on the $300. As always, do your own research before applying! This bonus is only for those in Texas, so unfortunately, the rest of us will need to sit this one out.
