$150 for savings account with a $10,000 deposit for 90 days

The branch manager who helped me was extremely friendly. The process took about 45 minutes because of the paperwork but he was pleasant. I say that's not bad for $450!
That checking account bonus is best in show (assuming it was for a total checking account) but there are saving bonuses that are regularly $300 - might have been worth holding out.

Did you just rock up in branch to get that offer? I assume you couldn't do the initial funding of $500 using a credit card like you can online?
