Ok, so the Tuesday AFTER the 90 days, right?

Basically, real-world experience proves that the following is 100% inaccurate and “fine print” only that isn’t applied in practice?
“Direct deposit must be paycheck, pension or government benefits (such as Social Security) from your employer or the government”

Yeah, that’s not always enforced. Or they can’t tell the difference always. In any case, often an ACH transfer will do the trick.

I’m getting a bit nervous about missing out on the bonus and this being a complete waste…

Bbird ACH doesn’t seem to have triggered the bonus yet…how long do you think one should expect to wait for this “direct deposit” bonus trigger to be pulled by Chase? The clock is ticking faster and faster on the 60 day direct deposit requirements 🙁

As for the other account bonus, how long does it usually take for the savings bonus to appear?

Thanks for the tip for the direct deposit to checking. How about the savings bonus?

Good news- the checking bonus is pending just like you said (on Tuesday)

Data point- Bbird ACH transfer

How about the savings bonus? Any idea when that usually posts?

If a person does an ACH from Bluebird to meet the direct deposit requirement, does it matter the amount of the ACH? Does it need to be larger to “seem” like a direct deposit from an employer or does that not really matter? An example minimum amount would be appreciated if you think that matters. How long after the ACH posts to Chase should one expect the bonus to post?

Any deposit of any amount via ACH transfer will count as your employer/government direct deposit within 60 days requirement?

Clarification please: Any deposit of any amount via ACH transfer will count as your employer/government direct deposit within 60 days requirement?

Thanks so much for confirming.

Just a note that if you have closed an account recently, you may still be able to get the bonus. My banker knows me and just asked why I closed my account and now want to open another. The bonus convinced me to come back!

Does this offer run out when the coupons run out, or when too many people have used the coupons?

I plan on using a Target Prepaid Redcard from “Redcard Resales” online to meet the minimum spend requirement.

Does the direct link to the offer work for other people? When I click it, it gives me a 404 error.

Is there a minimum DD amount that is required to get the bonuses? I have a $100 DD set up for my next paycheck and was wondering if this was OK to meet the bonus requirements.

This is probably common knowledge, but if you’re a veteran/active duty military, you qualify for their military checking. No fees, no balance requirements. Opened my account yesterday.

Just got mail…
$300 for total checking w/ DD
$200 for savings, $15k for 90 days.
I think I’ll go with $175 – for 15k no-min…
So, have the rules changed for DD/P2P ?
Anybody try Redbird, which is amx/serve as DD?
