Free Checking Accounts with Direct Deposit - Which Banks Offer the Best Deals?

[JudahDoyen]

Absolutely! The appeal of a free account is solid - it removes a railing to entry. However, I've been looking at some comparisons, and I'm seeing a lot of nuance. Are there any banks that *actually* offer a truly sizeable direct deposit profit together with the free checking? Do they have a tiered system with different bonus amounts based on account balance or usage?
