How's Does a Free $50.00 Sound?

I just stumbled across an offer that I thought was worth sharing. Wachovia is offering $50.00 for opening a new checking account. That's it - no strings attached. Go HERE to see the details of the offer. If you're too lazy, here's the gist:

• Offer is for new customers only
  
• You must open the account with a deposit of $100.00
• You must open the account before 1/31/2008
• The bonus will be deposited within 120 days of opening the account

That's all there is to it. This is better than most of these offers I've seen. Typically they require you to open with a higher balance, open a fee-based account (this one works with a free checking account), or set up a few direct deposits. If you can part with $100.00 for 120 days, you're going to get a 50% payback. Not too shabby. If you've got a Wachovia nearby, I'd say definitely take advantage!!
