One of my awesome readers wrote this post about how she made over $600 from bank incentives last year. Check it out and find out how YOU can get paid to bank!

"A frugal tip I worked on last year was when we were sent incentives for opening checking accounts (Chase offered $100 and Bank Of America $75) we opened the accounts and kept them open the minimum amount of time needed to get the incentive. It varies by bank, but we made $650 last year doing this.  I recently got one from SunTrust that was a bill pay incentive that if you paid 3 bills for 3 months out of your account ( by signing up for bill pay) they would credit you $100 after the 3 mos and 3 payment minimum was done.  Watch your mailbox for these incentives, and make sure to read the fine print. One caveat, the incentives are taxable , so just know that they will be sending you a form and you will need to claim it on next year's taxes, but that's almost half of our Disney trip for last year!"

What an awesome way to help pay for those extra expenses or fun vacations! Thanks Robin for sharing this fab frugal tip- I can't wait to put it to good use!
