HiHoAudio Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I went to TD Bank the other day and opened a checking account as they are giving away a free HD camcorder (a Flip) for free for a limited time if you: 1) Open a new checking account 2) Pay two bills online using the account 3) Use the debit card for eight purchases You do have to keep a minimum of $100 in the account at all times. Since I am over 50 I also qualify for 50+ Checking. Here are the details... 50 Plus Checking - Competitive variable interest rate - No minimum daily balance requirement for first year, then $100 - $10 monthly maintenance fee waived if you meet the minimum daily balance requirement - No minimum initial deposit required to open account - Free new 3x5 safe deposit box for first 12 months (where available), then 50% off - Free checks for life - Free money orders and official checks Notice the free safe deposit box for a year and then half price afterwards? How could I turn that down? I can always use another box, as it's not safe to keep rare coins at home. Trust me, I have learned this the hard way. Sorry if you aren't 50 yet, enjoy your youth, you'll be old one day. But if you are 50+ I think this is a very good deal. One thing though. No one told me to wait a day to sign up for online banking, and now I have to go to the bank and have them sort that out. (After three attempts you are locked out.) Except for that everyone at the bank was very nice and I have a new safe deposit box for FREE! (And a new Flip in a few weeks...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooray for us old people!! It does sound like a good deal and will seriously consider this, since I need a new safe deposit box! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Colonial Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 It is a great deal, very good in fact that I think they are crazy to offer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpm9ball Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Okay, I'll be the first to reveal my ignorance. The only "TD" I'm familiar with is scored at a football game. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicdonna Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I do my banking at TD Bank. I'll be 46 next month. Maybe they will still have the same deal in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Colonial Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Sorry, I do not know. I have never seen one. My suggestion is to look on their website. However, I am assuming that even if they do, that this thread is referring to an offer available in Canada which might not be available in the US.

HiHo lives in New York. Sorry guys, I assumed this offer was nationwide. Perhaps it is just in New York. Check their website and perhaps give them a call. I think the offer expires on June 6th. And for the record I do NOT work for TD Bank nor are they paying me for viral advertising, although if someone wants to pay me to write nice things about them I am all ears. I just thought it was a good deal and wanted to share it with my fellow collectors. It's not everyday you can get a free safe deposit box for a year.

So TD is a Canadian bank looking to expand into the US market. I get it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom lets me use hers, I think it cost about $15 a year which is virtually free. she has had it for over 20 years so that is probably a grandfathered rate.

World Colonial Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Banks offer discounted or even offer free rentals if you keep enough money on deposit with them. But those I have seen require high minimums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
