Use As A Lever

Most new campaigns current account usually a deadline for their offer. If this is a free current account, it can take six months or a year. But generally, if it began as a promotion, it will end at some point.

Similarly, most banks are still offering check. This means you can use the promotions of other banks as a way to keep your free account indefinitely.

Here is how to play that card. Call your bank customer service department and just tell them you want to check, free and no minimum balance, or you're out of the bank next door. If banks will not say, just go to the bank with check for free.
