Mark,
The $50 bonus for Principal is listed under current and expired...are they different offers?

Thanks!

I got the following link from a Principal Bank ad on Google couple days ago:

https://secure02.pri...0.htm?offer=mv5
I think it is more reliable.

The link you are asking about (https://secure02.principal.com/bank/forms/50checking.htm?offer=gtrobnkc50) was on Principal Bank homepage. It is not there anymore but the webpage has not been deleted. The webpage does not mention an expiration date. I suspect the link is still valid. But may be I should delete it anyway to be on a safe side.

Thanks ichaelm...I am trying... the real heroes are the members of ibankdesign and fatwallet communities who report the deals... I am just trying to keep them in one place.

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!
