Did anyone receive tax form 1099 for a $1000 bonus?

I think in early Jan. It was one of the first 1099 I received.

This one seems to be only for new checking customers. You cannot upgrade your existing total checking to Sapphire checking and get the bonus…

“Offer is not available to existing Chase checking customers, or those whose accounts have been closed within 90 days or closed with a negative balance.”

Any updates on end game strategy? I opened the Chase Sapphire Checking for six months, and new money requirement met as of March 5. So I plan to liquidate VMFXX in YouInvest, and transfer to checking, then ACH out on September 8. Yes, I realize that there are no documented data points showing less than 6 month clawback on this particular offer, but I still don’t trust them and I’m already this close.

What is the best way to pull out the $75K plus change and close accounts? Will they get me for $25 for the month that I make that final ACH out from checking? Does downgrading to Total Checking prevent that?

They shouldn’t charge the fee if you close it soon after statement closes. Sapphire checking has free wire than can be done online to move the money out. Downgrade will work too if you leave 1500$ to waive the fee.

Thanks for the reply. But even if I close the account the day the statement closes, that means there is a new month in which the average daily balance is less than the threshold for having a fee waived. Perhaps when I get to that point, I’ll do a chat with Chase to make sure I’m not getting charged.

Got the bonus after squeaking in almost at the April deadline and scouring the internet for a bonus code. Lesson code yet again do not procrastinate if a good bonus is around. Can be pulled any time. And thanks for the idea to combine the checking with the savings bonus ! Got both at the same time.

My code expired…has anyone have any success to get the branch manager or personal banker to generate a new code? Most of the good bank bonus had been pulled since covid

Don’t think any manager can generate that code, must be done by the system. I’m waiting for this come back too. Anytime soon?

I’d be surprised this returns any time soon but you never know. Let’s hope it does.

Need help!!! I have two total checking now. One opened a few years ago, the other was from downgrade yesterday from Sapphire checking after getting $1000 bonus. ( this downgraded total checking was still linked to YouInvest account with $75000 tied on Money market fund.) Can I close the second total checking account now without being taken away the bonus. I know I could close the first total checking without incurring any loss, but I have everything set up and check book with this account, it’s kind of inconvenient to touch this one. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I liquidated my youvest account, transferred the money out, and downgraded the checking account to total checking.

A banker told me today that the bonus would be clawed back if the account is closed within six months. I don’t remember that at all when I opened the account, and I don’t see it in the paperwork received at account opening.

1. Is there such a clause that I’m overlooking?
2. If the account does need to stay open for six months, could I transfer out all but $1, then close the account at the six-month mark? (I still qualify for Sapphire checking from other Chase accounts, so I’m not worried about fees.)

Yes, I had seen that part of the post, but I can’t find it in any of the papers received at opening. I just got off the phone with Sapphire Banking, and the CSR said that she does not see a 6 month requirement and that I can close the account without clawback. There was no mention of this when P1 and P2 opened accounts at different times and with different bankers.

Can anyone who signed up for this offer tell me where to find the six month requirement? Alternatively, is there a DP of a clawback on this offer specifically?
