Miles posted in 7 days.
My husband and I both enrolled. I received my 10,000 CO miles in exactly a week. His have not been posted yet--10 days out. Neither of us have received the additional miles for purchasing a bank card yet.

Follow up on my experience with this. I said kudos to Chase for completing the bonus mile posting so efficiently and then my spouse's miles were deposited in an account that they created in error instead of the account that he gave them to credit them to. So we had to call Continental and get them to combine the two accounts and put all his miles into one. Funny the account that they created had the name as Mr and his last name only and not his first name. Mr Smith. Hard to believe. Still happy though. jUst thought I'd mention it in case someone was wondering why their points don't post as fast as expected.

Multiple Accounts
Does anyone know if you can open multiple checking accounts and take advantage of multiple bonuses? I don't see any disclaimer language preventing this on my printout.

Does a transfer from another account count as a transfer? Also, in terms of the limit on these per calendar year, does that apply just to the checking account? I would like to do both this and the Chase Continental Mastercard promotion. Has anyone had success doing both?

We haven't thought about the checking account, but we had the credit card for a while, and it was great for racking up miles, but the annual fee was horrible, and we had to be on both Continental and Chase to get our rewards, ie, the discount tickets, companion pass, and presidental club passes that they said they would give upon payment of the first annual fee. Needless to say we received our "rewards" a year later. However, once we started having children and not flying as much, we canceled the card in favor of one that will rack up money for a college education and had no annual fee.

I work at Chase and in regards to the question regarding a credit pull - I'm almost positive that Chase doesn't pull a credit check, what we do check is to see if your name appears on a database of people that write insufficient funds checks.
I'm not exactly sure how the miles post, but from what I've heard I THINK it works like this:
When you open up an account, the banker enters the promotion code and your OnePass number... then someone in the back office reviews these accounts, and once they've met the requirements to receive the bonus miles (ie: first bank card purchase, first direct deposit, etc)... they forward the information to CO so they can post miles. Of course Chase or CO can take a while to send the info/post miles since they do it in batches and not a individual basis. So, it does depend how fast both parties work and for you chem geeks, its like the rate determining step.

Black Friday CHASE add'l offer
My husband and I both applied for the 17,500 CO checking promo today.
It was painless!
1. Take in the printed form from either Continental or FT (make sure to print off two different offers if you are opening two accounts)
2. $100 (cash or check from another source other than CHASE) deposit required to open account.
3. One Pass#'s. (we opened 2 accounts)
We also signed up for three debit cards (the limit) giving us an extra 2,500 per card, which is a great bonus as well.
4. Our branch had a "Black Friday $100 promotion" in addition to the CO offer for opening a checking account.
We left there feeling good~ Wouldn't hurt to ask your local branch for the $100 offer if you act quickly.
Good Luck!
