It should unless this is not the first account opening bonus you tried to get. In other words if you have already had any type of account opening bonus with Chase in the same calendar, Chase would NOT award a 2nd bonus regardless what different account you opened again.

Or, the coupon code was not correctly attached with the opening bonus portion but I doubt it though because usually it was the other way round.

I just went to sign up the 4th member of my family for this deal and see that the option isn't there anymore for the Continental Debit Card. You now need to call in after getting your account set up to get the Continental card.

Here is my Chat:

you: Hi, I am applying for a checking account. I am trying to get the one with the Chase Continental Debit card but I don't see it as an option.

Joshua: Hello. You are able to choose the continental card with any of the standard accounts. The Rewards cards have been removed from the online application recently, so you can choose the standard card and once your account is opened, you can order the Continental card at the branch or at 1-800-935-9935.

you: Thanks, I want to make sure I will get the 15K bonus miles for using the Continental Preferred Card. I am still eligible for that, correct?

Joshua: Yes, you would just need to enter the code from your offer and choose the Continental card, since it is no longer in the online application, you can choose the card once your account is opened.

you: OK, thanks for the info. Do I need the coupon code when I call in to get the Continental card, or just now when I apply for the account?

Joshua: You're welcome. You would just need the code when you are opening your account so you can enter it in the application.

you: I am all set then. Thanks!

Is there a way to add Chase Debit Card Users online for 2500 mile bonus, not finding it at the moment?

not certain but I could have sworn I saw something about how an auth user on one's CC could earn another 5k Co miles.

I need to look back in my own paperwork--and in here.

that is unless someone happens to have the info on this

Thank you

Chase is starting to operate like Citibank. I thought we'd keep these accounts at one point, but after this nonsense, they'll get closed for sure.

I know this is listed somewhere in this thread, but I'm not finding it.

I opened a Personal and Business account. I linked the personal to business in order to sidestep the monthly fees on both (personal is free if linked to business / business is free if a personal is attached to it).

The thing I'm wondering, though, is that though there should be no monthly fees for either account at this point regardless of direct deposit or monthly transactions, is there an account activity threshold that has to be reached? I've been looking through the T&c's and am either missing it or it isn't there. Any info would be great, but it's sort of looking like I can simply shelve the cards until the 6 months are up then cancel the accounts since I have completed the needed transactions to earn the mileage rewards.

First, welcome to FT!

with the business account linked to the personal one, you need to have 5 transactions on the business debit card to avoid the monthly fee on the business account, until you cancel the account.

You can put away the personal debit card now.

Really? I'm looking at the account summary doc (business account) given to me after opening the account and this is what it says:

Chase BusinessClassic Checking (account ending in ...XXXX)
Avoid a monthly service fee:

• Maintain a required minimum average monthly balance, OR
• Link to a Chase Premier Checking or Chase Premier Platinum Checking, OR
• Link to an active Chase business credit card, OR
• Have 5 or more debit card purchases post each statement period (excludes ATM and cash advance transactions)

I first opened a personal Checking account, then while opening the business account upgraded the personal account to a Chase Premier Checking account. I read the above to say I can avoid the monthly fee by avg balance, linked checking account, linked credit card or # of transactions. Am I reading this wrong?

If I am right and don't have to use either account at this point, is there still some small print about # of transactions to keep the account "active"?

I dont know. May be there are some errors made during the account opening process.

Ours posted quickly and automatically on both the personal and the business accounts. In fact the business accounts got the opening bonus posted 4 business days after their opening. Opened on 10/29, bonus posted on 11/04, with debit cards not arrived until 10 days later. Even the last 2500 miles from CO posted on schedule, about 6 to 8 weeks after account opening.
