$102 bonus plus the "breast" bonus ever
I'm not a paid subscriber of Fark.com, so I can't read this article regarding a spoofed credit card company offering free breast implants as sign-up bonus. If anyone could forward the article, I'd appreciate it.
You need to be a member to read this article at MarketWatch, but it's free and takes less than 60 seconds to register. It describes the new craze in sign up bonuses for banks and credit cards - gift cards. Citibank is offering a $50 gift card to get their "Diamond Preferred Rewards" card, BankAtlantic is giving a $77 MasterCard to open an account and keep it open for 77 days and Third Federal Savings & Loan is giving away $100 Home Depot cards for transferring a home equity line of credit.
I don't have a home equity line of credit (much less a home), but I think I'll go for that $77 MasterCard. MarketWatch doesn't have the link, but I do.
Oh yeah, they forgot to say they'll kick in $25 for turning in unused checks from your current bank. Woo hoo!
