PeoplesBank Bounces Back (Again!) with a $350 Checking Bonus – But There's a Catch!
Published on November 1, 2025, 10:07 PM
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!
