Chase often has great $500 bonus offer, $300 for checking and $200 for savings (there’s a separate $225 bonus for the savings account). You can do this bonus once a year and it’s probably one of the best bank bonuses around. There’s currently a Chase $500 bonus for accounts opened by 8/6/18 that’s better than usual. There’s a link that allows you to open the accounts online. Sometimes it’s a hassle to go into a branch or there’s no branches nearby. This new link makes the process much easier since it can be completed online and it’s working even for those who don’t have a branch in their state.
Offer Requirements
The offer gives you a $500 total bonus, but it comes in two parts that can be done separately. You’ll receive $300 for opening a checking account and $200 for a savings account. You can do either one or both of them.
- Get $300 when you open a new Chase Total Checking account and set up direct deposit
- Get $200 when you open a Chase Savings account, deposit $15,000 or more in new money within 10 business days, and maintain a $15,000 balance for 90 days
Eligibility
Checking offer is not available to existing Chase checking customers, those with fiduciary accounts, or those whose accounts have been closed within 90 days or closed with a negative balance. You can receive only one new checking and one savings account opening related bonus each calendar year and only one bonus per account.
Fees
Both the checking and the savings account comes with monthly fees, but can be waived.
Chase Total Checking has a $12 Monthly Service Fee that is waived when you do at least one of the following each statement period:
- Have monthly direct deposits totaling $500 or more made to this account; OR,
- Keep a minimum daily balance of $1,500 or more in your checking account; OR,
- Keep an average beginning day balance of $5,000 or more in any combination of this account and linked qualifying Chase checking, savings and other balances.
Chase Savings has a $5 Monthly Service Fee that is waived when you do at least one of the following each statement period:
- Keep a minimum daily balance of $300 or more in your savings account; OR,
- Have at least one repeating automatic transfer of $25 or more from your Chase personal checking account (available only through Chase Online Banking); OR
- Have a linked Chase Premier Plus Checking, Chase Premier Platinum Checking, or Chase Private Client Checking account.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is one of the best bank offers out there and although you can usually find coupons on eBay or sometimes Chase sends them to you. But a direct link and opening the account online is as good as it gets. You can do this bonus even if you have done it in the past, but you can only get it once each calendar year.
The Checking part is the easiest bonus to receive. You will receive a $300 bonus for opening a checking account and completing a direct deposit of any amount, simple as that. The $200 savings bonus on the other hand comes with a 15K deposit that you will have to keep it in the account for at least 90 days. I suggest you apply as soon as possible if you are eligible as these Chase bonuses rarely last through the expiration date online.
If you do have a branch nearby, it might be worth it to go there anyway and check for any increased offers on Chase credit cards.
