If you are one of the old ladies holding everyone up at the grocery store writing checks.....I hate to be the one to tell you but....psssst debit cards do the exact same thing, only simpler. I actually don't need a Chase account; the only remaining thing I like about Chase is that they have lots of grocery store branches around here (i.e. can often kill two birds with one stone/errand). |

Sounds like I may have to check on this, as I'm about to send a wire off to Asia. I do have a HELOC with them, but don't know if that is counted or not.

I got hit with the $6 fee a few times, so I've just started making 5X$0.01 "charitable" donations per month via paypal.

Chase=pure evil.

I recently took out the Chase checking account offer for 25K miles. Offer broken up into 2 pieces:
10K miles: 1 Direct Deposit or 5 Debt Purchases within 60 days 15K miles: Get a new debit card + 1 debit purchase by a certain date - Both the $29 and more expensive debit cards qualify for promotion I was told Separately to not incur a fee on the checking account, set up direct deposit or have 5 debit purchases each month So the mileage bonus is different than Chase's own minimums to maintain the account without fees. This is for a "chase checking account" their basic account. They have other premium acccounts where fees are waived for higher balances etc. In terms of direct deposit, I believe they told me needs to at least be $200 a month,b ut double check wtiht hem. you can split your w-2 into different tranches so $200 goes into chase account. |

This has nothing to do with the thread here. We are talking about the old FREE WaMu checking accounts.

Hi, I'm posting this here because I know that many of you have Chase accounts. I don't check my balance very often because I use that account mainly to complement my Chase credit cards, but I checked today so I could marvel over my new UA card and noticed that they've been dinging me for $6 per month since January. When I called to inquire, they told me that they now require 5 debit transactions (or direct deposit) per month in order to avoid this fee. While I'm not going to loose any sleep over the $24 (in fact, this might give me a bit of leverage wrt coin deposits), I'm a bit irked that they snuck this in on me. They claim that they mailed me information about this, but it must have been buried pretty deeply because I do try to stay on top of notices regarding my accounts.

Sorry if my thread offended you.

My former WaMu account still shows up as FREE EXTRA CKING with no monthly fee or direct deposit/debit requirements.
|
It is still called "Free Classic Checking".
My Chase checking account (which was originally a WaMu checking account) still shows up as "Free Classic Checking" with no monthly fee or direct deposit requirements.
