Open a bank account, get an iTouch

Ipod_touch In Midcoast, Maine, the Key Bank has gone beyond free toasters.  Open  a free checking account, they’ll give you a free Nano.  Open an account with integrated investing services, they’ll give you an iTouch.

Of course there are some catches.  To get the iTouch, you have to leave $25K with the bank ... checking, CD, savings, etc. for about 90 days.  And the bank will report the iTouch as interest income, and sent you a Form 1099-INT for the IRS.

Dona’s been after me to go for this deal, since I’ve been lusting for an iTouch for almost a year.  But I’ve just about decided that I’m going to for the iPhone, probably next month.  My time with AT&T is up and it’s not likely I’m not going to have a phone ... so, it seems the logical thing to do.

Nothing about the bank deal, tho, says you have to live in Maine get get the freebies: https://www.key.com/gen/html/ipod-for-checking.html
