Chase Checking & Savings $900 Bonus Offer

+158 Deal Score
117,717 Views
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? https://accounts.chase.com/consum...px=PT22272

"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.

Thank you! So you were able to meet both requirements (i.e. funding the account as welll as meeting a DD requirement) through one transfer. That's good to know.

I did a ACH of $200 on 12/11 and received bonus $300 on 12/17
Dang I did a direct transfer through Wells Fargo almost 3 weeks ago and still haven't received my bonus. Must not work through Wells Fargo I guess? How else can we do a ACH?

I believe it depends on the originating bank. In my case I used credit union, that seemed to have worked.

Unless you do wire transfer (instantly and usually cost money), all bank to bank transaction is ACH.

I read that if you do this kind of Chase offer once a year, Chase will decline your application. How widespread do they do that?
It's become extremely common now. With many of the cards with the best promotions banning people, sometimes permanently. Since, these promotions are to get new customers and scam them on low [read as essentially NO] interest rates. Or scam you on high interest late fees on credit cards. These aren't meant to be free money to those people that are unethical enough to keep signing up for card after card, or account, with no actual intention of actually using them. Sure, we're all slickdealers at heart, that's why we come here. Signing up for one from each company is fine. But there's a small percentage of people that are just abusing the system, signing up for 20 credit cards at a time (with no concern for their credit score). These are the users that the major banking companies are targeting for automatic denials. And yes, as one or more user has stated, they now include in the rules that they can forfeit your promos, and collect it back [when legally possible]

It's also why some companies aren't doing the promos as much as they used to, or are offering smaller rewards than they used to. This applies to chase, amex, you name it.
We all cycle the cards we use for those 5% categories, but if you pay on time, and don't otherwise use the cards, you're a loss for the company. Tack on signup promos, and they regret the day they ever approved your application. And these companies aren't just waiting to deny your next application, many have already started terminating existing accounts, if they see a pattern of you signing up and cancelling, or holding 10 of their credit cards or accounts.

So, although this may not be popular vote, and if I were a politician I would have just ruined my career, please slickdeal responsibly and ethically. Don't overdo it, and ruin it for the rest of us that actually play by the rules. We've already suffered with less categories, lower percentage promos, lower signup bonuses, etc. At the end of the day these companies are in the business to make money. And if they lose it on certain customers, they have to make it up on the others. Not unlike how Cable TV rates have jumped more than 50% in the last 5 years alone, to compensate for the massive cord cutting movement. (The irony that they're essentially all starting their own streaming services, which are the staple of the cord cutting movement. And now the streaming rates are approaching cable TV level pricing. Even more if you consider than many subscribe to more than 1 service) It's either make it up elsewhere, or go bankrupt once there's a bad year, as there's less of a buffer. Not unlike how drug companies have gone bankrupt in recent years, to due excessive lawsuit settlements, and price limits in other countries, which raises prices in the USA, as we have no price caps. It's simply always a question of which customers will suffer, and which ones will unfairly benefit.

Not to say the OP didn't warn you, but you weren't supposed to publicly post emails. Nor will they respond to them. All you did was provide spammers with another address to target. On the internet, nothing is ever truly deleted, and is now archived in perpetuity. Then again, how many of us have fallen for those fake "free" deals, where nothing ever arrives. But, we coincidentally see a spike in spam as well as junk mail and robocallers.

Hopefully you knew well enough to use one of your spam gmail addresses. And, not one that you use for personal correspondences or daily use from reputable websites. If not, this would be the perfect time to create some for future use. Possibly even designating this one as the spam address, and adding a number or letter to your existing one, to make a new personal correspondence email address (speaking from 25yrs experience of using internet emails. While young, I foolishly posted my email addresses publicly online, which I was always forced to abandon as time had passed)

At worst, you'll be targeted by sophisticated spammers, whom will spoof Chase's email address in the header, as well as provide authentic looking emails w/ all the correct images. The only difference will be that the link address will either be hilariously different (if they don't disable the menu/address bars from displaying. Or, it'll be off slightly, and look genuine at first glance.) If they're good enough to social hack logins from large corporations and government employees, they're good enough to fool you with a realistic banking email, which is ripe for the picking with high valued information that will then be resold on the dark web. Or use it to get into your real accounts after planting malware, reading your clipboard, placing hidden address/info fields so that the browser automatically submits it, you name it. This is a business and livelihood for them, just as you go to work daily for your job.

Lesson learned.

ACH from most banks will also count as direct deposit for bonus purposes.
Beware that it didn't count in my case last time.

We can't open this type of account for you.
This product isn't available in your region. (Hawaii)

Oh well, thanks OP for the code anyway. Nice try!

Is there a fee transferring from TD Ameritrade? My bank wants to charge $50 to make a transfer.

I was able to use this offer a couple weeks ago at my local branch (thanks OP, repped). I received a folder with printouts for each offer ($300 new checking, $200 new savings, $400 extra bonus) outlining all the details to get each of the bonuses. For the checking bonus only, it states "you can receive only one new checking account opening related bonus every two years from the last enrollment date...". I believe I did a checking bonus offer less than two years ago but I closed it and I can't recall the exact date. Would Chase have automatically declined me at the point I signed up again if I am disqualified from the checking bonus or will I go through all the steps first, only to find out they won't give me the $300?
