$25 FNBO Direct Online Billpay Promotion

In case you missed it, we recently decided to open an online savings account with FNBO Direct where we’re collecting a healthy 3.50% APY* (current as of 08/15/08). During my behind-the-scenes tour, I also noted that FNBO Direct offers an online billpay account that can be linked directly to your online savings account. Well…
They’re now offering a $25 bonus for any FNBO Direct account holders that activate the billpay feature:
Limited Time Bonus Offer: If you are a current FNBO Direct Online Savings Account customer, you can earn a $25.00 bonus for opening a new FNBO Direct BillPay Account. We will credit the bonus to your BillPay Account within 30 days after it is opened. In order to earn the bonus, your BillPay Account must remain open for 90 days and you must make at least one BillPay payment during that period (we reserve the right to deduct the amount of an unearned bonus from any account you have with us). This offer is only applicable to BillPay accounts opened on or after 08/06/08 and is limited to one bonus per household. This promotion is set to end on 09/30/08, however, we may change or discontinue this offer at any time.




Just an FYI - in the 5 cent nickel email I received today (copied and pasted below), there is a typo - “….open an online savings account with FNBO Direct where we’re NOT collecting….” Note the word NOT. I trust that should be deleted and that you ARE earning a healthy 3.50% APY. Lisa Carper

I am confused.
Are you or are you not getting the 3.50% APY?
Comment by Douglas Johnson — Aug 16th 2008 @ 6:48 pmDon’t you think its a little odd that they aren’t advertising this promotion from their main site? I see absolutely nothing about this offer… I know its valid though b/c of the link you provided, but I wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t for your post and I am an online savings customer… Weird -I am missing something obvious???
