Free money! (for Canadians)
Looking for some free money?
You’ve come to the right place.
I recently saw an advertisement for the Citizen’s Bank of Canada. It was offering $50 free if you open a savings and checking account (for free) and deposit $100.
The one catch is that you have to keep that $100 parked in there for at least 3 months, otherwise your $50 is taken away.
I did not see any downside to this and immediately opened an account because I am a firm believer that every little bit counts and a 50% return on $100 in 3 months is definitely worthwhile.
It is also not the first time I have joined a bank because of a promotion. A few months back I switched to RBC in order to get a free Asus EEE PC, which I immediately pawned for $200. The account fees cost me $42 and I netted a good profit without much effort. Turns out I really like the features of that account and I’m keeping it. It was a double victory.
Here is the link to the promotion: https://www.citizensbank.ca/Personal/Products/BankAccounts/50GiftPromo/
Happy returns.
