Definitely not the same offer. The $200 offer that just expired included Hassle-Free Checking. With the new offer, you only get $100 for Hassle-Free Checking. Also, with the old offer, you had to direct deposit $1000 for any checking account. With the new offer, you have to direct deposit $500 for Hassle-Free Checking or $1000 for Key Advantage®, Key Privilege®, or Key Privilege Select Checking® Account. With the new offer, you need to make a combination of five debit card or bill payment transactions; the old offer did not have this requirement.
In summary, if you were looking for some free money along with the easiest account to keep open without a monthly fee, the old offer of $200 for the KeyBank Hassle-Free Account® beats the new offer of $100 for that account. If you can handle the (pretty tough) requirements of the Key Advantage®, Key Privilege®, or Key Privilege Select Checking® Account, the new $300 offer is better than the old $200 offer.
