Heads up, awardtrail readers! WinTrust Bank is back with a boosted bonus offer for new customers, and it's potentially a nice chunk of change! If you're in Illinois, Florida, Indiana, Wisconsin, or Michigan, you could snag up to $500 by opening a new Total Access Checking account and a statement savings account.

Here's the deal: You can score a $300 bonus simply by opening a Total Access Checking account, enrolling in online banking and eStatements, and setting up direct deposits of at least $500 for two consecutive months. But, if you deposit $15,000 or more into a new statement savings account and maintain it for three months, you'll instead earn $500! This could be a great way to park some cash while earning a bonus. Just make sure you can swing the direct deposit and savings requirements without it messing with your other financial goals. The offer has been extended multiple times, but with an unknown end date, it's best to jump on it sooner rather than later if you're interested.
