Hard to imagine they could have a debit card in my hands even if I was able to open by phone or internet - if in person I was going to do next Thursday when I'm back home. Am I reading that wrong?
(Not like the Delta SunTrust offer, which allows you to open by 12/31/10 and then until 1/31/11 to make the debit transaction.)
Unless anyone can tell me I'm reading this wrong, (which I'd love to hear!) I think I'm going to have to just wait and hope they offer this again next year.
Happy holidays, all.

I just opened my account and I'm still waiting to receive the debit card. My understanding is that you have 60 days to meet the debit card purchase requirement. According to the T&C:
Offer valid through December 31, 2010. To qualify for the reward you must open a new Chase CheckingSM account with a $100 minimum opening deposit of new money (money not currently held by Chase or its affiliates). Also, to qualify for the first 10,000 bonus miles you must make 5 debit card purchases with any Chase debit card linked or used to access the new account or initiate a repeating direct deposit such as payroll, Social Security or other government benefits. The 5 debit card purchases or first direct deposit must be completed within 60 days of account opening to earn the bonus miles. Initial 10,000 bonus miles will be deposited in your OnePassŪ account 6-10 weeks after the 5 debit card purchases or initial direct deposit has posted to the new account.
