Free 4GB Ipod Nano by opening 4 month CD and checking account with Union Bank Pleasanton Branch

I just came back from setting my accounts from this banks grand opening promotion. Here's what I gathered from them.

This offer is only valid with Union Bank of California, Pleasanton branch. Expires this Friday, 11/30. The bank just opened in October.

This setup requires $10,100. The 4 month CD requires 10K minimum to avoid service fees of $18 a month. The APR on the CD is 4.15%. The interest bearing checking account requires $100 to open, and provides free checks. Interest on the checking account is 0.1% regardless of the amount that is in the account. Custom design checks and carbon copy checkbooks are free also. After the 4 months, you can roll over the $ into a new CD, but I'll probably just close everything after the 4 months.

You must keep the accounts open for 3 months to keep the Ipod, but since you have a 4 month CD, that point is moot.

Ipod will be mailed by UPS, within a month.
