I procrastinate on a lot of things.

I also drag around numerous papers in the briefcase that I carry to and from work every day. I have used briefcases of some sort or another since embarking on a rather difficult and challenging career about twenty-six years ago as an Adult Probation Officer.

One of the items that I carried around in my briefcase for nearly all of last year was a flyer from Fifth Third Bank offering $400 to open a checking account with a minimum of $500 and then add another fifteen grand to it within some amount of days.

By the time I came across this offer, it had expired by a few months and I was kicking myself a bit for not taking advantage of it. After all, receiving a “bonus” of $400 for depositing fifteen grand and five Benjamins for six months sounds like a fairly good rate of return.

Early this year, I searched out the offer online to see if it was still valid, and indeed it was.

If you have the inclination to make $400 by opening an account with this amount at a Fifth Third Bank, consider me having helped you if you did not know about it already. The link is right here and I do not get a dime from it if you do or do not. (Note: the offer is now lower at $250)
