go to SunTrust site, personal banking, there is an ad for free checking: Open a new Free Checking account today and you're eligible to receive a $50 SunTrust VisaŽ Gift Card. Open a new Free Checking account from 2/13/06 through 3/31/06 to receive a redemption certificate for a free $50 SunTrust VisaŽ Gift Card. Clients must complete and postmark the redemption certificate included in the new checking account materials no later than 4/21/06. The account must remain open and in good standing as of 5/31/06 in order to qualify for the offer; only one redemption certificate per household. The $50 SunTrust VisaŽ Gift Card will be sent to qualifying clients by 7/15/06.

The SunTrust website has different fee schedules for different places/states. My guess is you need to live in one of those places. (I did not check on that, however)
Those states are: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

PLEASE do yourself a favor and don't bother with SunTrust. I was lured in by this very same promotion. 2 weeks later, I'm wishing I had never had dealings with this bank.
The only pros I've discovered are their hours and location.
The customer service is THE WORST I have EVER experienced for a bank. Everyone either don't know the answer to your question, or (as is the case if you call the branch), they rush you off the phone either by lying to you, or outright hanging up.
Their policies ARE NOT like most other banks. PLEASE make sure you read the fine print...everything is set up a little bit skewed.
If you are serious about your money and banking, go find a real bank. In the long run, the $50 gift card just ain't worth it!

Madmoney, it's a moot point. The SunTrust promo expired 3/31.

Suntrust is the worst bank EVER!!!
They held a check of ours for 30 days!!!! it was an out of state check, I understand that there is a hold but not for the whole month of february!!
Then we ran into overdraft fees, happens, and that specific branch deactivated our cards, without ever telling us!! I was in the bank on a friday, they never even told me that they deactivated my card........
I am just shaking, thinking about it!
DO NOT USE THIS BANK!!!!!!
