My miles finally posted on 1/25 for the personal checking/debit card, opened online:

01/25/2010 Chase Checking Bonus 10,000
01/25/2010 Continental Debit Bonus 12,500

It was incredibly painful to get this to work out, including many emails and phone calls.

Some new questions:

1) Can I open the business version of this by phone, and how has that gone for people? I have no local retail branch in my area and when I tried to apply online for the business version (several weeks ago), the web site errored-out during the process.

2) How many months do I have to keep the personal checking account open so that miles aren't yanked away? I don't like the $6 monthly fee; with the $25 debit card, it will eventually add up to just any old 25K offer with a high annual fee if I don't cancel it. Not sure I want to set up a direct deposit of any kind to get around that. Would rather be done with it and move on.

Updated: Hmmm, didn't notice earlier, pre-coffee, that 10K + 12.5K does not equal 25K. Wonder where the missing 2.5K miles are. Perhaps they'll post separately--that may have already been mentioned in this thread, but I've lost track.
