Probably not worth it in the long run, and I'm sure they make a hard credit check, and that won't help my credit score. $100 (less after taxes) sounds nice, but what else do they offer that other banks don’t?

They are almost always from a big bank like Chase or Wells Fargo and my experience with them has always been bad. They will find a way to fee you, or keep your money tied up with them that over the long term the effort and the money just aren't worth it. I'd rather stick with a reliable small bank that can give me a consistently good interest rate over getting a one-time great deal from a big bank. But maybe others have done this to great success?
