Citizens Bank: Score Up to $400 with a New Checking Account (Limited Time!)
Published on January 16, 2026, 9:08 PM
Citizens Bank is back with an offer that could pad your travel fund! You can snag up to $400 just for opening a new checking account and meeting a few requirements. Here's the deal: you'll get $300 for opening a new checking account and having a direct deposit of $500 or more hit your account within 60 days. Plus, you can earn an extra $2 for every debit card purchase you make within those first 60 days, up to a maximum of $100. So, use that debit card for your everyday spending to maximize your bonus! Why should you care? Well, free money is always a good thing, right? This is an easy way to boost your travel budget without much effort. Just make sure you're a new customer (or haven't had a Citizens Bank checking account in the past six months). Also, remember to sign up for online statements to dodge a pesky $3 monthly fee. The account normally has a $9.99 monthly fee, but you can easily avoid that by making at least one deposit of any amount each month. With no early account termination fee, this is a pretty risk-free way to grab some extra cash for your next adventure! Just remember this deal is only good through March 31, 2026.
