Easy Cash: $200-$250 Bank Bonus in Arkansas & Oklahoma!
Published on December 21, 2025, 9:22 PM
Want a quick boost to your travel fund? First National Bank of Fort Smith (and its divisions) is offering a bonus of $200 for opening a personal checking account and $250 for a business checking account. This offer is valid for residents of Arkansas and Oklahoma and runs until December 31, 2025, so you have plenty of time to consider it.
To snag the bonus, you'll need to use the promo code "NEW2YOU" when you open the account, set up a direct deposit within the first four statement cycles, and enroll in online banking. Keep the account open and in good standing, and the bonus should hit your account within 30 days after that fourth statement. Best part? No monthly fees as long as you opt for e-statements!
This is a pretty straightforward offer, but a few things to keep in mind: you can't have an existing checking account with them, and you can't have received a bonus from them in the last 12 months. It's also unclear if they do a hard or soft credit pull (a hard pull can ding your credit score slightly), or what counts as a direct deposit for a business account, but it's worth considering if you're in the area and looking for some easy money! Just remember that the bonus will be reported as income, so you'll owe taxes on it.
