3,000 miles with Deutsche Bank

I believe that 3,000 miles can be gained by a Deutsche Bank acc holder recommending a new customer. However, can I, seeking a new bank acc in Germany, also pick up these miles? And what are Deutsche Bank's services like? Do they charge a lot for a current account (which I think should be free, given the prosperity of the banks)?

Deutsche Bank is one of the more exspensive banks AFAIK.

You can open a free saving account (deposit at least 500 euro for one day, if you want to get the bonus). it works. i did it.

Won't that involve an awful lot of paperwork and admin, and upset the bank somewhat?

Concerto, who cares about the bank? They are offering that promotion. It takes less than 5 minutes by internet signing-up or 15 minutes at a branch of Deutsche Bank.

Sorry to come back once again on this Michilo, but ordinary savings accounts are far from free. Unless I completely misunderstood what an ordinary savings account is in German, I was quoted in Suhl that they cost EUR3,99 a month to maintain. If I can get one free, I'll stay with Deutshce Bank. They were very freindly, and client treatment means a lot to me with these institutions. I heard that they charge a whack to close an account as well, especially if it's only been open a short while.

Concerto: The Deutsche Bank Sparcard is free of charge.

BTW German banks are not entitled to charge a fee when closing an account...
