Metropolitan Bank has an offer for $200 when you sign up for a free checking account. It looks like you have to direct deposit $500/month for 6 months, but still, it's a HUGE bonus, and apparently you don't have to leave the DD money in there (so just ACH it out or whatever).
I searched the forums and there was a similar deal before, but this one is new because it allows you to apply online and they'll accept out-of-state funds for it, so everyone can do it!
