I funded mine with dollar coins as well.

So for the personal account you can use direct deposit to avoid paying account fees, but for the business account you have to make 5 debit purchases? What a pain!

Does anyone have a link where the business account promo allows direct deposit to avoid the account fees and keep the account free?

Can I just send myself $1, 5 times throughout the month by PayPal?

monthly service fee Q
 

Hello All,

Re: "NO monthly service fee with direct deposit or five debit card purchases"

If I dont set up direct deposit, and during a month I forget to make my 5 debit card purchases, what is the amount of the monthly service fee that is charged by Chase Bank?

Thanks in advance!

I was confused by this myself, so I called Chase and they told me that it varies by state. For the business fees, go the Chase site, and type in your zip code, and then look up the specific account. Under monthly service fees it will give three different prices (check safekeeping, Image copy, check return). The cheapest one will be the minimum monthly account fee.

I was told that the monthly fee for personal accounts is $6.

Just opened the business one yesterday. I took my EIN and showed it to them first thing. They never then asked about any other proof of business. You can get an EIN from irs website for free. I believe anyone can get an EIN as it is for sole-proprietors.

Since I signed up for the mileathon , I should be netting 27,500 points!!! After I transfer to Amtrak, that will be worth $3000 to me..

Can anyone answer this question above? I won't be in the USA for the next few months, so all my purchases will have to be done over the internet.

Does anyone know how I can fulfill the 5 debit purchase requirements for the least cost and time possible? Will sending 5 $1 PayPal payments (funded by the debit card) to myself or my partner work? If so, is there a way to set up recurring/repeat/scheduled payments with PayPal?

If the above is not possible, what are the cheapest things available for purchase online? Is it possible to buy things worth 10 cents? LOL!

Is this still offer invalid at California ex-WAMU branches? Has any one tried it in CA.

Nice! I take it you just brought the printout from IRS website to the Chase branch?

It will be available in CA on October 24.
Cheers.

I received my 10,000 miles from sign up bonus but 2,500 miles debit card bonus even though I signed up for the $65.00 card. Has anyone had this problem? Anyone with suggestions on who I should contact?

Thanks.

I am actually in the same boat right now. I've had the same thing happen when doing this deal in the past and the hassle to get the correct amount of miles credited was incredible. This time around, I'm just going to settle with the 10,000 sign up bonus and let it go. I mean it was seriously months of back and forth with various people at Chase.

FYI, you're actually supposed to get another 11,000 with the offer.

how long must a account be closed before you can open up another chase personal account to receive the bonuses? 30 days 60? Or can you close a account then immediately open a new one?

Well then... I guess I'll have a good response if they start giving me any trouble when I show up with $8500 worth of $1 coins. :mad: :D
