Current Chase $125 Checking Account Bonus (Expires 1/31/2008)

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The previous $100 and $125 Chase checking account bonuses have expired. However, Chase is currently offering a Chase $50 Online Checking Account Bonus.

This Chase banking bonus has expired, however, a new and better banking bonus offer has replaced it and is valid until December 31, 2007.

Check out this new banking bonus from Chase: Chase Free Checking Account $125 Cash Bonus Offer.

Here is the previous Chase bank bonus offer for reference purposes.

Chase is currently offering a $100 bonus when you sign up for their Free Checking Account with Direct Deposit.

Simply sign up for the Chase Free Checking Account with Direct Deposit by November 30, 2007, with a minimum opening deposit of $100, and you will get $100 deposited into your account within 10 days.

The Chase Free Checking Account does require a direct deposit to avoid the $6 monthly fee, but there is no minimum balance requirement after the required $100 minimum opening deposit.

However, you must keep the checking account open for 6 months in order to avoid having the $100 sign-up bonus deducted upon closing the account, although we’re not sure if they would go so far as to create an overdraft on your account if you didn’t have at least $100 in your account when you closed it.

There really is no reason to close the account, though, as the Chase Free Checking Account offers a host of excellent features including:

• FREE Access to 8,500 Chase ATMs
• FREE Online Bill Payment - including their Online, On-time Guarantee
• FREE VISA® Check Card with Zero Liability protection
• FREE personalized voice, text and e-mail alerts
• Overdraft Protection options provided through your savings, line of credit, or Credit Card account
• PLUS 2,600 branches nationwide

The Chase Free Checking Account also gives you access to a Chase Savings Account fee-free for one year when you setup a prearranged transfer from your Chase free checking account of at least $25 per month, which is a great way to earn additional interest on your savings.

You can apply online for your free checking account or print out the promotional offer and apply at a local branch if you prefer.

Just follow this Promotional Link for the $100 Chase Free Checking Account Bonus to apply for the offer and get any other information you need.

Make sure the coupon code on the landing page from the above link is also entered on the subsequent application page. It should be automatically but double-check before proceeding with the application when applying online.

Apply now for the Chase Free Checking Account with Direct Deposit to take advantage of this $100 banking bonus offer while it lasts.

Thanks and enjoy maximizing money.
