What the headline leaves out
The $400 tier needs much less capital than the $1,000 tier. Fees, taxes, liquidity needs, and the value of keeping funds elsewhere can reduce the practical benefit.
How this offer differs
PNC's lower tier combines a moderate balance with transaction activity, while its top tier requires $30,000 but no separate transaction count is stated.
