We have known many banking bonuses from Chase Bank in the past month. I also put some posts about Chase Banking deals. Today is Sunday, I think it would be useful to summarize the deals from Chase and put them together.

1). $100 or $75 for opening a Chase Free Checking account with direct deposit. Although some claimed that they could open the account online, it seems you can only open the account in branch. Here are some links I got from the Internet: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, and Link 4. Also see here. Update:the link to $100 bonus is dead. However, you can still get $75 by applying online through link 4 or here.

2). $25 bonus for referring a friend to open a Chase Free Checking account. Usually you can get the coupon from your friends. When you open an account, you can ask for 5 coupons with your name on it. And then give the coupons to your friends……

3). $10 extra bonus for setting up online bill pay. You should get a coupon code from your banker, and use it to set up bill pay online. You have to make 3 unique bill pays to 3 different payees.

4). Forget about the $10 bonus. You can get $50 bonus for setting up bill pay online using code: BTRVE. Remember to pay before Nov 6, 2007. Also see here.

5). $50 credit for spending $500 with Chase Debit Card before Oct 15, 2007. Maybe your debit card will not qualify the bonus. Try to enroll first. Also see here.

6). $200 for opening a Chase business checking account. This deal expires Nov 30, 2007. See the promotion page for details.

7). NY/Tri-state area friends can get $10 for simply use chase blink debit card 10 times. See here.
Chase is FDIC insured under JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. I like Chase!

Exciting! I received a phone call from Bank of America today! They agreed to fund $100 credit for my account! Emmm…so nice. It seems they really pay attention on BBB.org. I believe lots of readers have opened an account during that time. So if you can’t get the $100 bonus, please go ahead and use BBB.org. The phone number i received is from Florida 714-792-9031.

My story: I opened an BOA MyAccess checking account at the beginning of Aug. I funded this account as required. Then at the beginning of Sep. I sent two bank mails to BOA about the bonus. Their respones were the same: I opened this account in branch. That’s impossible! The nearest branch here is 50 miles away! Then I filed a compalin at BBB.org. It’s so quick! I hope this imformation is useful for you guys.

If you are referred by one of your friends from ING, you can get $25 bonus! To get the bonus, you must have to use the link sent to you by your friend and deposit $250. You will receive the bonus immediately! (At least from my own experience) The drawback is: you have to wait about 15 days to use the money. After that, you can transfer money as you wish.

PS. That’s really good. If anyone wants to get a referral, you can send email to me.

Hi, I am writing about the Chase Bank offer for our new customers. At first, you can get $100 for a new Chase checking account with direct deposit (DD). If you have a $25 coupon from your friends, you can get $125! Amazing offer! Then you can ask for $25 coupons from the banker. After you give the coupons to your friends who are willing to get an account from Chase. You can get $25 for each refer. Awesome! Wait! There is more you can earn from Chase!!! Register you chase check card with this link: https://www.chase.com you can get $50 for simply using your chase check card over$500 by October 15, 2007. Emm…. Chase is so nice for our newbies. If you don’t want to put your stipend into the chase checking account, there is a desent way to setup the DD. Use your paypal account, and send a certain amount (can be as little as 1 cent) to your chase checking account every month. Chase takes the paypal transfer as DD. You can also transfer the money from ING Direct account to your chase account. Can you imagine how much you can get from Chase??? If you can’t spend $500 before Oct 15, 2007, go to wamart and buy a $500 gift card. Make sure you use the debit card as credit card (you tell the cashier that you want to use it as credit car. Don’t input your PIN! In this way, you can buy foods from Walmart with 10% off!)
