I noticed the promotion several days ago. And I have a post about this promotion here. However, at that time, I was unable to get the promotion code to register my check card. According to the talk with Chase CSR, the promotion is targeted at those who didn’t use their check card for 3 months. However, this night I randomly put 2356325 as the promotion code, and my card was registered! Amazing! Then I also tried with 1234567 to see whether this will work or not. Guess what? You Chase Visa Check Card is registered to earn $50! SO my guess is you cna put in every 7 digit numbers to register your check card. Go ahead and try you luck!

To qualify for this offer, you have to make 15 signature based purchases from Oct 1st to Dec 15, 2007. Remember you can’t enter PIN when you check out, that won’t be considered as signature based purchase. To register your check card, please click here.

I noticed the promotion several days ago. “Use your Chase Check Card for all your everyday purchases and you could get a $50 cash reward.” To qualify for this offer, you have to make 15 signature based purchases from Oct 1st to Dec 15, 2007. Remember you can’t enter PIN when you check out, that won’t be considered as signature based purchase. (Click here to register your check card.) You have to get 7 digit promotion code from your mail. If you don’t have the code, please call 800-935-9935 to request one. I didn’t call the number yet. The customer service told me that “ Regarding the get $50.00 promotion, you can find your code on the mail you received about this special offer. This offer is for customers across the country who are getting special offers that reward them for using their Chase Visa Check Cards. The only customers getting these offers are those who haven’t used their check card to make a non-PIN purchase in the last three months.” It seems that most of us will not qualify for this offer. But I will try to call them up and see what will happen.

Many friends have got emails from Chase which indicate that they will recieve $5 statement credit when you enroll a credit card account in the paperless statement service between 10/01 and 10/31. To receive the credit, you must stay enrollment until 11/30/2007. You can go through the following link to get enrolled or call the number at the back of your chase credit card and mention “Chase Library Code: OCT2007PPLS“.
Others claim that their emails state that they can get $10 for enrolling paperless statement service. Please check your emails.

We all have known the chase banking bonus—$100 with direct deposit. Here I want to provide another offer from Chase–earn miles from Chase checking account. You can earn 10,000 Continetal bonus miles for opening a chase checking account with direct deposit. If you choose to accept the Chase Continental Airlines Preferred Banking Card for a $65 annual fee, you can get 7,500 bonus miles more. Of course you can choose to get the Chase Continental Airlines Banking Card for only $25 annual fee and get 2,500 bonus miles. If you need Continetal miles, I think it’s really a good deal. you can combine the miles from credit card. With your first purchase, you can get 20,000 bonus miles from Continental Airlines World MasterCard. So how many miles can you get from Chase? If you want to earn 4,000 miles more,please check about KeyBank. The keymiles debit card will give you 4,000 bonues miles.

Here is a tip: when you open the checking account, choose the Preferred Banking Card and don’t use it. Cancel that card in 3 months and you can get the refund of the annual fee. Hmm… you can get 37,500 miles or 32,500 miles from Chase. It’s a good deal. The deal will expire on Dec 31, 2007. It’s useful for those who don’t have time to open a checking account to get $100. For checking account, click here and choose “learn more”, then you can print the coupon. Each time when you click “learn more”, you will getdifferent coupon code. For credit card, see here or see my previous post on mileagerewards card.

For those who want to get more credit cards, I have a good suggestion. —Apply for Chase Credit Card!

The reason is very simple—as the second credit card issuer in the US, Chase is trying to explore the credit card market. They want to attract more customers in the most competitive market. I have a limited credit history (less than one year) but I get two credit cards in August. I applied for Chase Sony card on Aug 1. However, I missed a call from Chase fraud department which asked me to send out some materials to verify my address. Then one month later, I received the card from Chase. I then applied for Chase Amazon.com Visa Card on Aug 27. This time I got the call from Chase. After some questions, I can see the new Chase Amazon.com Visa card show up in my Chase account in two days. Amazing! I didn’t expect to receive two cards! Some of my friends also successfully get credit cards from Chase. I applied for two Citi cards both of which were rejected! Then I called them up to ask for the reason—they told me that my credit history was too short. They suggest me apply for Citi cards two months later. It’s also the case for most of my friends. SO my conclusion is it’s a right time to get credit cards from Chase.

For your reference, I give some posts about Chase Credit Card.

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.

A good news for people at New York/Tri-state area. If you use Chase Blink Debit Card 10 times from now through Oct 31, you can get $10 credits. The blink technique is a kind of contactless payment which will greatly enhance the efficiency at checkout. Chase’s blink technology has moved to over 1.8 million Visa debit cards in three northeastern states, becoming the first Visa issuer to offer contactless debit cards. Over 2000 merchants in the tri-state area and over 30,000 national wide accept blink payment. The advantages of using a blink payment: 1). Eliminate the time customers spend waiting for cashiers to make change; 2). Are completed up to 25% faster than those done with cash; 3). Can be up to 40% faster than other payment methods at locations such as quick-service restaurants, drive-thrus, convenience stores and movie theaters. In order to spread this new technique, Chase offers great benefits for blink card holders:
– Zero liability for fraudulent transactions;
– Quick replacement of lost or stolen cards;
– The ability to track account details online at Chase.com;
– No need to hand over the card to a cashier;
– No risk of an accidental card reading because consumers must hold the card within 1 to 2 inches of a reader to conduct a transaction.

MasterCard and American Express Card als provide similar features for their card holders. They are Pay Pass and Express Pay seperately.
