Chase Checking Account $150 Bonus

This offer just arrived in the mail.

Open a new Chase Bank checking account before June 30 and get a $150 bonus.

We were surprised that there’s no mention of this on Chase’s web site.

The bank has heavily promoted similar deals there, including last winter’s $50 bonus for new personal checking accounts and $200 bonus for new business checking accounts.

You’ll also need a “coupon code” from the mailing to qualify for the bonus,

The on-line application has a section called “Account Options” where you’re asked if you have a coupon code and provided a box to enter the 16-digit number.

We’re generous guys at Bankaholic, so we’re happy to share our coupon code with you: 3469485147633085

We don’t know if that will work for everyone. Try it and see.

The fine print says you have 60 days from the time you open the account to deposit at least $100 in new money. Within 10 days of doing that, the $150 bonus will be added to your account.

If you try and close the account in less than six months, Chase will take the $150 back.

One final thing that came up after we wrote about the $50 checking account bonus from TCF Bank. This money is regarded as interest, and you will pay taxes on it.
