I realize Chase's CCs are attractive on their own. Perhaps Chase doesn't care about attracting more banking/brokerage customers, I was referring to leveraging that attractive portfolio to gain more banking/brokerage customers, not the other way around.

I agreed.

Why would Chase help you to recover from credit reward?
The whole purpose of relationship banking, like Chase CPC & Sapphire, CitiGold and BofA Preferred Rewards is to get premium or affluent clients under one roof, or one bank. Often time, there is a team working together to serve clients needs. This is why BofA/Merrill has been very successful in building its brand. Merrill also has Premium Client and Premium Elite Client servicing teams. Those are not as published as Chase CPC. At > $1MM, BofA/Merrill can get you a private relationship manager, similar to a private banker. Merrill Edge has been an excellent platform.
But Chase CPC does not offer all the above. I get all the credit card benefits without any banking relationship with them. Its YouTrade platform is sub-par. If Chase ever offers any relationship bonus like BofA Preferred Rewards, that would make it more competitive. But I just would not want to park $250,000 assets with Chase that would be underperforming. I just made $3k with a trade today that I was not able to do at Chase.
