National City Bank gives a $150 gift card for opening a new checking account.  TCF Bank gives you $50 free groceries (as a Meijer Gift Card) when you open a new TCF Totally Free Checking Account.  Fifth Third Bank gives you free checking with no minimum balance and 2 free ATM withdrawals at other banks per month. Be sure to check out the fine print, Fifth Third will waive their $2 fee for using another bank's ATM twice per month, but the other bank may still charge a fee.
