Baltimore Beats Buffalo: $100 to $50

The Baltimore Ravens don't play the Buffalo Bills this year in football, but Baltimore already has the northern New York town beat when it comes to checking promotions.

M&T Bank, with a significant presence in both cities, is offering up to $100 for new checking accounts with direct deposit. And, as an added bonus, you get a Ravens or Bills stadium blanket. This offer is valid at participating branches only, but online sign-ups get the blanket shipped.

In Buffalo , the direct deposit bonus is only $50. In Baltimore , the bonus is $100.

For both cities, the special comes with a team-logo M&T Bank Visa Check Card with rewards. The first order of team-logo checks is also free. This special is available on a variety of checking accounts from M&T Bank.

If it's good enough for Todd Heap and Brian Moorman, is it good enough for you?

I've signed up for web banking so that I can keep track of my transactions. It updates my account very quickly (within a day) upon withdrawals or deposits. Credit card payments made using this account might take a couple more days, but maybe that's just how long it takes the credit card companies to process your payment.

I opened this checking account when I first started college at SUNY Binghamton. Up there, there are lots of branches so it's easier to get access to an teller to ask any questions. But in NYC, it is pretty inconvenient. That is my only critique.
