I'm not sure if this was targeted or not. It was an offer under my Marriott Chase credit card account. You get $900 cash back when you open a checking and savings account through the link. Sure the interest rates are crap...but once you get your $900 after 3 months, you can close accounts and move elsewhere. Seems like a killer deal...unless I'm missing something?

"To receive the $300 checking bonus: 1) Open a new Chase Total Checking account, which is subject to approval; AND 2) Have your direct deposit made to this account within 90 days of account opening. Your direct deposit needs to be an electronic deposit of your paycheck, pension or government benefits (such as Social Security) from your employer or the government. Person to Person payments (such as Chase Quickpay® with Zelle®) are not considered a direct deposit. After you have completed all the above checking requirements, we'll deposit the bonus in your new account within 10 business days. To receive the $200 savings bonus: 1) Open a new Chase SavingsSM account, which is subject to approval; 2) Deposit a total of $15,000 or more in new money into the new savings account within 20 business days of account opening; AND 3) Maintain at least a $15,000 balance for 90 days from the date of deposit. The new money cannot be funds held by you at Chase or its affiliates. After you have completed all the above savings requirements, we'll deposit the bonus in your new account within 10 business days. To receive the extra $400 bonus: You must open the checking and savings account at the same time and complete all requirements above for BOTH the checking bonus and savings bonus. After you have completed all requirements, we will deposit the remaining bonus due in your new checking account within 10 business days."
Setup a direct deposit of $500 a month or have a balance of over $1500 to avoid fees on checking. And maintain balance of over $300 on savings to avoid fees.

Enjoy up to $350 Get $200 with a new checking account and another $150 with a new savings account with qualifying activities.
I currently have a Chase Sapphire Reserve card and an online account.
When I apply for this with the coupon code it tells me "invalid coupon code" after the website asks me "are you currently a chase customer?"
However, if I select "no, not a current customer" I can get to the next screen.
Am I considered a current customer if all i have is a CSR? I have never had a checking / savings or any other type of account with Chase.
If I went through the process opening the checking / savings by saying I am not a customer, how would I link my accounts to my online login?

This is from the term and conditions, footnote #2
2 Account Closing: If either the checking or savings account is closed by the customer or Chase within six months after opening, we will deduct the bonus amount for that account at closing.
You don't need to keep 15k in the account all the time, once the bonus posts the balance can be lowered to 300 to avoid monthly fee.

So you'd lose a whopping $75 in interest lost in a 2% savings account for 90 days. I think jumping through the hoops for $900 is a way better deal!

Actually, you should read what I wrote
