Make Money At Banks
There's a couple of banks around town that are offering big dollar incentives for you to switch to their banks. My Personal Credit Union is offering $100 when you open a checking account and set up direct deposit. Huntington Bank is offering the same thing but you can choose to make 5 check card purchases within 60 days instead. I believe that both are free checking accounts so it shouldn't cost you anything. But you will have to claim the incentive as interest on next years taxes.
