What It's About
A listener seeks to capitalize on incentives for opening bank accounts.

Episode 1453
Today’s listener earned some money from opening a bank account, and it got him thinking: free money is good! I’d like more free money. And might there be a way to earn even more by helping other people take advantage of these incentives? I like where he’s going with this. I’ve opened a lot of accounts over the years in response to various offers. Some of them can be $500 or more, although most aren’t quite that large.

I know you have to jump through some hoops to get the incentive, but for $300, it was worth it. Now I'm thinking there's a business opportunity here to publish some sort of directory and update it with the most current offers. But how would I get paid?
