the page hosting the deal won't load for me, so I have a question if anyone can answer:
if you have your mortgage through Suntrust, would that waive the minimum balance fee?

It appears that way...and to think I missed out on the last bonanza by a week (I didn't hear about it)...30k is nice but the minimum account balance is tough.
Or do I understand wrong? Any checking account gets the 30k Delta?

And they are super rigid about the minimum balances: mine dropped to 2800- on one day, went back up to $6000 plus the next day, and I still got hit with the monthly maintenance fee

For those of you with TDBank branch near you, you may want to open up a small business checking account (I think it is called TDBank Business Direct).
They offer free payroll direct deposits via ACH to any US bank accounts.
I have an LLC and used that account many times to satisfy the payroll direct deposit requirement.
The checking account requires $1500 daily balance to avoid monthly fees.

Same in my area, Florida. Also, Tennessee. Walk-ins only.
I notice other banks (non-SunTrust) are also extending more generous offers to walk-ins. They'd "like to get to know you" [Spanky & Our Grang, 1968 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Y3l0_1US4 ]

Elizadoo, what other bank promotions, non-SunTrust, are you referring to?

Pulling this language from their Terms and Conditions, does anyone OUTSIDE of these states have a successful application online or via chat or phone?
"The Delta SkyMiles Check Cards are issued by SunTrust Banks, Inc. and are available in AL, AR, FL, GA, MD, MS, NC, SC, TN, WV, VA and Washington, D.C. Certain restrictions apply."
2009 and 2010 were just too much fun, and it would be a shame not to jump in for another 55,000 miles from SunTrust Bank.
Thank you,
PedroNY

However, when we were in Atlanta two weeks ago and I wanted to add my husband to the account, they would NOT issue him a SunTrust Delta Check Card even though we would have paid the annual fee again for his, too. They said it was because they aren't issuing the card to our account level anymore, but it's the same as this promotion.
Have to say that doesn't sit well with me from a customer service standpoint. I guess I'll just have him open his own account to get this bonus, and then we'll close it out.

I'm very tempted. I currently have the US Debit card and that's going away. I also haven't been very happy with Bank of America. But still, I don't like the $75 fee or the small footprint Suntrust has.

I just signed up through chat with Donna. She informed me that the monthly maintenance fee was waived for the first two months. I signed up for the Balance Banking account (which has the lowest fees), so I'm not sure if this applies to the other checking account options as well.

Just signed up via online chat. Rep said that existing accounts qualify and that my existing direct deposit will qualify.
Rep said that Delta Skymiles # must be unique for every account. Said my 2 yr old daughter was eligible as long as she got a joint account with parent and unique Delta SM #.
