Here!

Ok there is a catch you have to open a bank account with them. Close it 6 months later and enjoy your free Ipod Nano in the mean time.

wow, what a good marketing idea!

But indirectly, you're paying $200 for it...

(even if you get it back)

better than the average toaster gift you get from banks, that's for sure.

TD Canada Trust (one of the main banks in Canada) has been doing this for a while now. I think if you sign up for a TD Gold Visa as well, they upgrade it to an iPod Video.

bank one used to do this in Chicago...

but there is a catch...always is a catch. maybe the bill you for no movement or activity for a awhile?

I signed up today. I have to switch my pay checks to go into my "new" bank account for at least two separate deposits of at least 100 each. I.e. I have to give them my next to pay checks to this new bank account. Once I do I can withdraw all my money and leave only one cent for the next six months.

I'll switch my work deposits back to my original account. After six months I can close it and not get hit with the $25 early termination fee. All said and done I probably would not do this again. It is quite a bit of work for a Nano. They said they won't even ship the Nano until October and it is possible I will have to drive in and pick it up at a branch.

All that just for an ipod? I think I'd rather just buy one (or an M6, D2) outright and not have to think about it.

x2, immediate satisfaction for the win!

What can I say? I am a patient guy.

 

[rockin_amigo14]

plus, it's just incentive if you're switching banks anyway. i highly doubt anyone would actually switch banks JUST for ipod. at least, i hope not...

I did something similar to get an ipod nano here in Canada. Transferred to TD canada trust. Took forever...
