Student Checking Account Reviews
Staff
If all you had to do was sign up for the checking account I think this might be a pretty good deal, in fact I would probably do it. However, most of us shouldn't be making decisions about credit cards based on an ipod that is really only worth $75.

Free iPod nano with Student Checking
Gone are the days of free toasters to new bank customers. Cleveland-based Key Bank is joining the modern set, passing out iPod nanos to any student who comes calling.
Get a KeyBank Student Checking Package for… a no fee, no minimum balance checking account, a 1% cash back credit card, and a 4GB iPod Nano.
In order to qualify for the Nano, you must meet several requirements:
- Be a student at least 18 years old
- Open a student checking account with a minimum of $50
- Sign up for Key Bank’s 1% cash back, no fee credit card
- Use online banking and statments
Not that tough, consider the mouseprint restrictions on many other deals out there.
Still, there are two other catches. Close the account within 6 months and you'll be charged $25. And, Key Bank will report the value of the iPod nano on Form 1099-INT. That means paying income tax on $149, as if you received interest on the account.
Darn fine print!
