So I just completed my 4th Bank Bonus for this year.
Now the last one was offered by my bank (M&T) where I've had a checking account for 20 years. But there offer was for a new checking account where I have to use the debit card 15x and would get a $100 bonus. I thought it was weird since I already had a checking account with them. But I had a day off from work and decided to go in and just ask.
I was surprised the branch manager said I could do it and signed me up. So I've completed that bonus got the hundred and just this past weekend I got another one from them.
Not sure if this will work again but anyone ever done this? Does it seem they'd let me do this offer again. I mean I wouldn't t mind doing 15 dollar transactions again...
Off hand I think M&T can only get the bonus once in a 12 month period now. Especially with the same exact offer. Evidently it was a fun ride a couple years ago when they weren't enforcing a restriction and some got quite a few bonuses, but they seem to have wised up since.
I suspect that's why this offer worked for you too - you hadn't received a bonus in the look back period - even though you generally wouldn't be considered a new customer. I guess M&T is weird. Maybe it'll work again?
