Hey Award Trail blazers! Want to pad your travel fund with an easy $500? First Bank (Myfirstbank), is offering a sweet bonus for new checking account customers in Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Just open either a Basic or Relationship Checking Account, and set up a direct deposit of at least $750 within 60 days of opening the account. It's a soft pull, so it won't affect your credit score. The fine print? You need to keep the account in good standing (positive balance) for 90 days to get the bonus. The Relationship Checking Account has a $15 monthly fee if your daily balance dips below $1,000, so the Basic account is likely the better option. Also, remember the bonus is taxable, so Uncle Sam will want his share. This is a great way to score some extra cash for your next adventure! The offer expires December 31, 2025, so there is plenty of time to take advantage. Bank bonuses are essentially free money, so why not grab it?
