Online did take my coupon and showed 15k bonus.

The banker was super nice and called internal support for help. Was told that they treat account within 90 days as "existing". I guess that's just BS from 800 since online did take my coupon and showed 15k bonus. He even called his manager and call me at home afterward offering to push through somehow. I guess that's because I opened Chase Biz account for CO this weekend, haha... I was told since I have biz account now I should have some perks on personal side (something like premium account free).

Seriously, he was very nice and I do want to him to get his bonus if there is a way. Does anyone know? I just recall frugaltravelguy mentioned this banker bonus somewhere on his blog but don't recall the details. Who knows what good banker relationship will bring you down the road. Never burn a bridge unless you have to.
