$150 & $200 Chase Checking Account Bonuses

Chase Bank has another $150 bonus for opening a Chase Checking account. As usual, it requires direct deposit. It's scheduled to expire on 1/15/2012.

Below is the relevant portion of the fine print:

To receive the bonus: 1) open a new qualifying Chase checking account, which is subject to approval; 2) deposit $100 or more within 60 days of account opening; AND 3) have your direct deposit made to this account within 60 days of account opening. Your opening deposit cannot be money held by Chase or its affiliates, nor can the bonus be used as the opening deposit. Your direct deposit needs to be an electronic deposit from your employer or the government; of your paycheck, pension or government benefits (such as Social Security). After we receive your first direct deposit, we’ll deposit the bonus in your new account within 10 business days.

You might also be able to get a $200 bonus for opening a personal Chase checking account, and direct deposit isn't required. This Hustler Money blog post has the details. A Chase coupon is required, and this may require an eBay purchase.
