Be careful, be very careful! There are checking accounts that have signup offers for miles, and guess what? You get hit with a giant IRS bill that costs you about the same as the value of the miles (maybe even more?), because the bank (Citi, at least) issues a 1099 form. They're saying they're required to do that for checking account signup offers, but not for credit card offers.

But in case you want to go for it inspite of that, here's the thread on it (from the MilesBuzz! forum):

So IMHO the world of debit / checking account signup offers is horrible, compared to credit card offers.

I suggest you work more on fixing your credit, and don't worry about pursuing debit /checking account signup offers, less they end up costing you precious money instead of saving you money.
