Huntington Bank Bonus: Up to $600, But Watch Out for the Fine Print!
Published on October 9, 2025, 9:54 PM
Huntington Bank is back with a tempting offer: up to a $600 bonus for opening a new checking account! You can score $400 by opening a Perks Checking account and setting up a qualifying direct deposit within 90 days. Or, you can go for the bigger $600 bonus by opening a Platinum Perks checking account and depositing at least $25,000 within 60 days and keeping it there for 90 days. This offer is currently available in several states, including Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Here's the catch (and why this matters to award travelers): Huntington is cracking down on bonus churning. They're watching for people who repeatedly open and close accounts just to grab the bonus cash. If they think you're abusing the system, they might deny you future bonuses for up to 24 months, or even close your account early! Also, there's a limit of one account-related gift incentive per rolling 12-month period. So, if you're in a qualifying state and legitimately looking for a new bank account, this could be a sweet deal. Just be sure you plan to keep the account open for a while and don't make a habit of chasing bank bonuses, or you might find yourself blacklisted from future offers! The offer is valid until January 15, 2026.
