Hot iPod & iTunes Banking Offers From Local Banks
If you have gotten past Apple’s “Antennagate” scandal and find yourself still craving Apple gear, we found local banks with Apple product offers to give you a more musical bang for your banking buck.
While none of these offers come with an iPhone4 (you’ll have to stand in line with everyone else for that Apple favorite), these high-tech gear freebies are a trendy alternative to the typical cash back bonuses, and are undoubtedly a fun incentive to open an account.

Who says you can’t get free money? Check out these limited-time offers from these banks to pad your savings with cash.
(Disclaimer: Read all fine print on any offer before you sign up to make sure you qualify for the cash incentive.

Aside from that serious note, here are free money opportunities that won’t be around long!)

Sign-up for ING Direct’s Electric Orange Account and activate your accompanying debit card with 3 signature-based debit purchases within the first 45 days of opening your account, you’ll get an extra $25 deposited into your account.
