Just a quick reminder that tomorrow, July 15, is the last day for the publicly available $500 Chase checking and savings bonus.
- Original Post: Publicly Available: Chase $500 Checking and Savings Bonus
The link is still working to generate unique coupons to anyone who has a Chase login, so you can still get the coupon now. But you have to go into a Chase branch and open the account by tomorrow when the coupon expires.
If you can’t do this now, it’ll always be possible to get these coupons later in the year too, but usually it’s not as easy. You can buy these on eBay for $10 or $20, and they often come through various other channels, such as USSP Mover’s packets.
Update
After posting this, the news broke that the Chase $500 business bonus is available again. That offer will be around through September 17, just grab a coupon now in case the link stops working.
Through tomorrow, July 15, you can do both Chase bonuses. One trip to Chase can net you $1,000 between the two, and hopefully some targeted credit card offers which won’t have 5/24 limits to them. Many readers have gotten targeted offers for INK or other cards in-branch that weren’t affected by 5/24.
If it’s one day after the expiration will chase still honor the offer? I had the mailer but didn’t realize today was the last day.
I’d guess that it won’t work a day late
coupon codes are good 7 days after expiration date
Hmm, that’s interesting. Is that based on personal experience?
Just an FYI – got a mailer today from Chase for the 300/200 personal offer – updated expiration date is Sept 2, 2016 so they might refresh the online link as well soon.
I hope so!
I got an awesome $500 offer from CitiBank too! All I need to do is deposit $25K to a new or existing Citi Savings account and keep it there for 90 days and I’ll earn “up to $500”. Oh wait, actually I’ll earn TEN TIMES THE NORMAL INTEREST up to $500! Wait, that normal interest for $25K on deposit is .04% per year, which means I’ll actually only earn $25 over those three months. Wait, weren’t we talking $500 a minute ago?
Man, everybody should jump on this Citi Thing. Its like they’re printing money. Well, minting coins anyway.
Yeah, they send out that offer all the time, it’s terrible.
Can I open a checking account with no money right now and when I get my next check I will deposit some money in it
There’s probably a small initial deposit amount. I can’t recall off-hand what it is.
Here’s a data point — Just wanted to chime in that I went into Chase to get the personal $500 bonus today. I was hoping to open one for my 3 year old son in addition to myself. Unfortunately, they would not do it since apparently fiduciary / custodial accounts do not count with the coupon. Oh well. Will sign up wife tomorrow. Easy no risk $1000.
BUT A BIG PLUS — I had her run any pre-approved offers for Chase CCs, and I was pre-approved for all of them including CSP (when Chase online doesn’t show any). I’m well over 5/24, and I just applied for CSP last month and was denied for too many accounts. I was instantly approved this time for a $35k CL. So for anyone sleeping on the checking account deal, my experience is that it certainly helps back door the 5/24 rule.
Awesome! I’ve heard many stories of in-branch bypassing 5/24.
