Here is how you can take advantage of their competition for your money.

Banks which offer online savings accounts are competing with each other to get your business. There are so many good banks out there, it's hard to sway a consumer to switch their savings account to another bank, or get them to open an account with a bank in the first place. Instead of wasting advertising revenue on additional internet or television ads, some banks decided to give the advertising money to their potential customers as an incentive to sign up for an account at their bank. For each new account that you open, you can get anywhere from $10 and $25 just to put a few dollars in the account.

Once you have the money in the account, and the deposit bonus made, you can withdraw your money, and be done with it. Most of the time banks will close your accounts if your balance reaches $0.00, and you have your money back and the deposit bonus free and clear.
