I should be receiving $27 from BOA this month with the 100% match for the first three months and 5% match thereafter! I’ve also been enrolled one year and have saved $96.

A great way to max it out is to stop at a gas station for frequent small fill-ups, and make sure your total ends in .01, whether 1.01, 3.01, 10.01, etc. Then 99c will be transfered to your savings, and BOA will match it 99c FREE! You can transfer the 99c (the orig amt, not the match) from savings back into checking, which we did on a weekly basis, since we didn't really want our savings in their small-interest-earning acct. Be sure to read the fine print on whether you are supposed to use your card as a debit or credit card at the pump; only 1 of the 2 ways works for the transfer and match, and I am almost certain it was credit (use your debit card but without the pin) but I don't want to steer anyone wrong. Also if I remember correctly, we got our initial 100% match in less than a year, like maybe 6-8 weeks after the 90 days ended, and then the regular 5% match was deposited on our 1 year anniversary.

The lady who worked there told us that the kids could keep reading and hand in their lists twice at each Barnes and Noble location. http://mysahmjourney.blogspot.com/ We just got our books from the Barnes and Noble summer reading program.

I wrote about it on my blog. If you have a small business and a personal account at BOA, you can open a free business checking, saving and credit line and make $120 or more.

You have to wait a year for it though. We started this last year, and Bank of America recently put $87 into our account. You have to wait a year for it though.

We have saved over $150 mindlessly - and we're in line for our rebate/match check this month (they don't match it until you've been in the program for a year) We have always banked with BOA and have been using this program for the last year.
