Hey Awardtrail Blazers! Newtown Savings Bank is back with a bonus offer for new customers in Connecticut, and Putnam/Westchester counties in New York. You can snag $150 by opening a free checking account with promo code SUMMER25 and setting up a direct deposit of at least $150 within 60 days. Want more? Open a Flagship Checking account with the same promo code and a direct deposit of $1,500, and you'll pocket $350! There's also a $50 bonus for opening a statement savings account with a $300 balance and a $150 bonus for opening a Basic Money Market Savings Account with a balance of $20,000. Why does this matter? Well, free money is always a good thing, right? Plus, Newtown Savings Bank does a soft pull on your credit (meaning it won't ding your credit score) and allows you to fund the account with up to $1,000 using a credit card. This could be a great way to meet minimum spending requirements for a new credit card bonus (the real awardtrail!). Just make sure you keep the account open for at least 90 days, or they'll claw back the bonus. This offer has popped up a few times before, so it is legit. It's valid until December 31, 2025, so you've got some time to decide. If you're eligible and looking for an easy bank bonus, this is definitely worth a look! Just remember that bank bonuses are considered taxable income, so factor that in when you're doing the math. Happy bonus hunting!
