$100 Chase checking offer. I saw this online and thought I’d share: Chase has a new checking offer! Get $100 when you open a Chase Checking account, you’ll need to make 5 debit card purchases or set up direct deposit. The offer is good until December 31, 2009 and you can apply online or get a coupon to take to a branch.

Here’s URL:

And here’s the bonus information:

Bonus/Account Information — Offer valid 10/15/09 – 12/31/09. To qualify for the bonus you must open a new Chase CheckingSM account with a $100 minimum deposit of new money (money not currently held by Chase or its affiliates). Also, within 60 days of account opening you must initiate a monthly direct deposit which includes payroll, pension, Social Security or other government benefits, or make five debit card purchases. The bonus will be automatically deposited into your new account within 10 business days after the initial direct deposit or five debit card purchases have posted to your account. Bonus is not considered part of minimum opening deposit. Limit one checking account-related reward/premium per customer, per calendar year. Offer not available on account conversions or in combination with any other offer. Offer not available to existing Chase checking customers. Employees of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and our affiliates are not eligible. Checking account must remain open for a minimum of six months or the bonus will be debited from the account at closing. Account is subject to approval. Bonus is considered interest and will be reported on IRS form 1099-INT.
