My neighbor said that she brought her 2005 receipts for her electric bill to the town offices, and they gave her a $700 rebate! I'm fuzzy on the details of what it was for, but has anyone ever heard of this? We live in CT, and the energy company is CL&P.

About a month ago, I received a coupon from Bank of America saying that if I open a free checking account with them, I'll get a free check for $100.

So I opened one up just to get the 100 bucks.

Now I have a checking account with them that I don't use, but I received the same exact coupon in the mail again last week.

Should I just close my account with them and then use the other coupon to open another account and get another free $100?

Do you think they would let me do this? I'm not breaking any rules.

Someone has accidently deposited money into my bank account on 3 different occasions in the last 3 months. They keep writing the wrong account number (mine) on their deposit slip and the teller doesn't bother checking the account to make sure it is the right account. This is nothing more than a hassle because of the phone calls from the bank, but can I do anything about it if it happens again (i.e. keep the money since there was incompetence on both parties, the bank and the customer)?

Is there any other economical and convinient way of wire transfer?? If any, please let me know!! I use BOA and my friend have one at Wells Fargo.
