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.

Anyway, just got all the $700 bonus for checking and $200 on saving account on March 3rd. All is good!👍
Anyways, how long are you going to keep all the money in there? I'm thinking of transferring a bulk out next week back to a HYSA.

Edit: This is a follow up. Just spoke to a Chase representative. I was informed that I could withdraw as much money as I want from my savings account. I didn't ask about closing it. All I have to do is have a $300 minimum in my saving account to avoid a monthly service fee. I will close it at another date.
3 months to get bonus, keep account for 6 months to avoid bonus pulled back
Thanks OP again!!

Keep in mind you can't close it for 6 months. I kept the direct deposit going. Remember the fee on the Savings account too. I think I kept $300 in the savings account and kept the direct deposit going in. I closed mine after the 6 months.
How many days after the 90 days for the bonus to appear. Mine should be coming in any day. Sooner the better.
My account happens to be military so no direct deposit needed after bonus and no minimum needed so I'm taking the $$$$ out the minute the bonus hits.

Thank you! I will let you know as soon as I get mine.

Will probably be in account hopefully next Tues (if they pay on a Tues). 95 days for me today if you count the 29th and don't count the date I opened it.
It might depend on the day of week that the 90th day is?
