This actually isn't the first bank to do something like this. In the late 80s, there was a bank in the US that offered an Apple //c to anyone who opened a CD with them. Of course there was a minimum deposit and you had to commit to a term of several years, so it was a good deal... for the bank.
Jim You have to stay in the plan until December 31, 2008. So the costs is really $13.95*6 months now or $84. So that's not too bad. You cancel it after that.
