In the LA Times yesterday I found this:
Move your checking account to Cal National and get $50! Than use our check card 5 times and we'll give you $50.
Small print reads:
$50 credited to your open, non business checking account on or before 4/15/06 and is subject to IRS and other tax reporting. Qualifying card transactions must be PIN or signature based purchases (non-ATM) and be settled to your account by 3/31/06. Maximum of one credit per account per household. Must be new checking relationship to the Bank opened on or after 1/23/06. Minimum opening balance is $100.

My reading of wokscott's post is that there are two bonuses: one for new account before 4/15/06 and the other one for using check card 5 times before 3/31/06. You would need to contact the bank to find out this for sure.

[FONT=Courier][FONT=Impact][FONT=Optima][FONT=Arial][SIZE=7][SIZE=14][SIZE=7][COLOR=purple] Customer Service informed me that it is necessary to go into a branch to sign up
for this offer. To bring 2 pieces of ID and Social Security Card and a copy of
the offer that you received in the mail, or in this case from the newspaper
via your Internet site. Their 50 or so branch offices appear to be all located
in Southern California.

CORRECTION: NO $100 BONUS. Actual bonus is $50.

$50 Bonus was credited to my account on 4/13/06.

Upon inquiring regarding the future receipt of the 2d $50,

was informed by customer service that this would not

be happening. That the total bonus is the $50 which

I received on 4/13.
