Another Chase $125 Checking Account Bonus

Feb 14, 2008 - 7:51 AM by Ken Tumin

There's another $125 sign-up bonus for a Chase checking account with direct deposit. This one is good through April 30, 2008. Unlike previous ones, when you click on the link to the promo, you get redirected to another Chase page unless you are already logged into your Chase account. I guess Chase is targeting its credit card customers. And unlike the one I posted on in January, I wasn't able to view it by stopping the browser before it was redirected. So please remember this when you visit this new promo page. Please also remember that these coupon pages often do not last long. Perhaps after so many views, the promo automatically stops showing. There is a unique coupon code that is displayed for each new viewing of the page. So Chase may keep track on the number of views.

According to the coupon page, you can also apply online or visit a local Chase branch. The online application has a promo code box where you enter the unique coupon code. Here are the instructions from the page:

1. Print this page and take it to your local Chase Branch or apply online by April 30, 2008.
2. Open a Chase Free Checking account with Direct Deposit.
3. Watch your account. We'll deposit $125 into your new Chase Free Checking account within 6-8 weeks of establishing direct deposit.

Please refer to my previous Chase bonus post about another way to get a $125 Chase Checking account coupon. In that post I also have the details about my experience with Chase, how to get an extra $25, and other tips and issues related to this promotion.

Below is the small print from the promotion at the bottom of the coupon page:

Offer valid 2/01/08 through 4/30/08. Chase Free Checking requires a $100 minimum opening deposit of new money (money not currently held by Chase or its affiliates) to qualify for the $125 reward. Chase Free Checking has no monthly service fee when you have a monthly direct deposit. Limit one personal checking account-related reward/premium per customer, per calendar year. Offer not available on account conversions or in combination with any other offer. To qualify for the $125 reward you must open a new checking account either online or in a branch and initiate a repeating direct deposit such as payroll, pension or Social Security. The first direct deposit must be completed within 60 calendar days of account opening. The $125 reward will be deposited into your new account within 6-8 weeks after the initial direct deposit and is not considered part of the minimum opening balance. Checking account must remain open for a minimum of six months or the reward will be debited from the account at closing. Account is subject to approval. Reward is considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form1099-INT. Please present certificate to a banker when opening your account at a branch. Please note certificate does not need to be forfeited.

Thanks to the reader who emailed me info on this new promotion.

The link on the "promo page" takes me here: https://chaseonline.chase.com/online/home/sso_co_home.jsp

which is the online sign in. There is a products link that gets me to the Free Checking, but it does not have a bonus.

If anyone needs a coupon for the additional $25, just leave your email, and I can shoot one your way. I have 5 of them I just got that are valid through the end of March.

They just did a HARD credit pull on Trans Union for me.
They are reneging on the bonus by make me to visit a branch.
Be careful with this Bank, they want to trick you for the bonus.

Please Help.....I opened the chase checking account but I dont know how to set up direct deposit. The downloadable for states that I must attach a voided check or deposit slip but I did not order any checks, only a debit card. Please Help......rod

Banking Guy (anonymous) - #19, Sunday, March 2, 2008 - 4:12 PM

Once you have your Chase routing number and account number, you should be able to set up real direct deposit. This can depend on your employer and their requirements.

The routing and account number can also be used to link it with other bank accounts so you can initiate transfer deposits. Some online banks do require a voided check, but there are many that do not. ETrade Complete Savings is one that doesn't require voided checks.

Anonymous - #20, Monday, March 3, 2008 - 8:13 AM

Is there a minimum amount for the direct deposit? Or can I just set it up for, say, $20/paycheck?

when they say:

"Chase Free Checking requires a $100 minimum opening deposit of new money (money not currently held by Chase or its affiliates) to qualify for the $125 reward"

does that mean I can't use my Chase Credit Card to fund the account?

Anyone know if an ACH transfer from an online savings account works as the required "direct deposit"? Any personal experience on this?

Also...if anyone needs a referal code to open up a Checking account. I have some...thats $25 for you and $25 for me. So..just email me at neethu151@gmail.com

Banking Guy (anonymous) - #32, Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - 7:34 AM

I first tried with a GMAC Bank ACH transfer. After 3 weeks and no bonus indication and the 60 days running out, I did the official direct deposit. The bonus showed up within 2 weeks. I can't say for sure if the real DD is what triggered the bonus.
