Just got back from Chase branch about 3 miles away.
They opened account OK, at first with preferred debit card
although I had explained I wanted the $25 version.
The very eager Bank officer fixed that up (we'll see

)
Took the coupon code and entered OnePass number.
Accepted $500 in presidential coins for opening deposit !
Now for direct deposit task:
am not working, so... I looked at the FW list,
don't see Schwab bank on there, so need another source.
Visited the Intuit 6-mo payroll offer, but it quickly errored out.
Any other current suggestions ?
edit: oh, just noticed FW post is 23 pages,
so I have a bit nmore reading to do !
