Free Fitbit with TD Bank’s “Fiscally Fit” Campaign

HT to Maximizing Money

Oh, hello January.  Time for resolutions and fitness plans.  Who doesn’t remember those free toaster ovens for opening bank accounts?

In walks TD Bank with a rather creative new campaign – Fiscal Fitness.

And, what’s best is they will give new customers a Fitbit Flex (basically a cool little bracelet that tracks your fitness activity).

Here are the basics:

New customers, come in and get fiscally fit with TD Bank. . .  Let us help you reach your physical fitness goals, too.

And for a limited time, get a Fitbit FLEX^® when you meet with a TD Bank representative and open qualifying accounts. Here’s how:

• Open a checking and savings account
• Sign up for online banking
• Get an instant-issue debit card
• Take home and enjoy your new Fitbit FLEX^®

Hurry! This offer is valid through March 7, 2015 or while supplies last.

Sound’s good, right?  I would love a Fitbit.  But to have to open a checking account AND a savings account AND sign up for online banking?  Are you kidding me?  That sounds like a lot of hoops for a $100 bracelet.

Here’s what I think:  There are many banks with $200 to $400 promotions for opening new accounts.  Do that.  Take $100 and buy a Fitbit for yourself.   Enjoy the extra $100 to $300.
