Our Verdict
Not a huge bonus, but the requirements are exceptionally easy to meet. Worth doing if you live in the area and you’ve already done the bigger & better bonuses available. The small amount of credit card funding is nice as well. As always share your experiences in the comments below.

$500 on Chase Ink Business Unlimited posted as purchase
i was expecting to receive the bonus in a few days to some weeks after meeting the requirements. I called and they said must have the account for at least 3 months unfortunately
Opened online, used Chase SP for 500 funding.
Since I am not citizen, they would need scanned copied of some additional docs. Thanks for deal!
I tried to open this and I got a security message during the identity verification process and that they couldn’t proceed with the account opening. There was a phone number and email address provided, so I emailed them to see what they’d say.
I never got an email response but tried again a couple of days later and it worked fine. Now they’re saying I need to send them a copy of my driver’s license because of the online formatting being messed up.
Opened on 7/23 and funded with $500 with Chase Visa, coded as purchase. The $500 still isn’t listed as available balance, probably because they are still processing the stuff I had to mail in.
Anybody get their bonus yet?
Which Chase Visa?
