Heads up, awardtrail readers in specific parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut! PeoplesBank is once again offering a bonus for opening a new checking account. The current offer, good through November 17th, lets you snag up to $350.
Here's the deal: You'll need to use the promo code FallCK300 when opening the account, have $1,500 in direct deposits within 60 days. You can then get an additional $150 with a $10,000 minimum daily balance or $300 with a $25,000 minimum daily balance (must remain for 90 days). Keep in mind, this is only for residents of Hampden/Hampshire/Franklin counties in Massachusetts and Hartford county in Connecticut. Plus, you can only fund $500 with a credit card. Also, there's an early termination fee of $15 if you close the account within 90 days.
Why should you care? Well, free money is always good! Even though a $400 bonus has been offered previously, $350 is still a solid chunk of change for meeting some pretty straightforward requirements. If you live in the right area and have a need for a new bank account, this could be a worthwhile opportunity to boost your travel fund. Just make sure you read the fine print and meet all the requirements to avoid any fees!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
