Of course.

Has anyone been able to get the CO and UA bonus in one calendar year?

does anyone have the link for next year?

its 25K now. I think iam going to do this one. free ticket to canada, eh...

The page with the coupon still says that this is not valid in CA. I undrestand that a few of the folks in CA have gotten this recently - did you have to do/say anything special at the Chase location to get this? I plan on going to a former Wamu location, that is now chase to open an account...

Just this Saturday I opened personal and business accounts at a Southern California ex-WAMU branch. I just walked in and said I would like to open the accounts with the printed coupons that had the not valid in CA language in them. No problem.

Same here... The account was opened in November, and qualifying activities done in mid-Nov. No Mileathon activity has been posted yet...

No Mileathon activity here either, but my accounts that were opened November 7 had their bonus miles posted about a week ago. ^

I opened mine mid October and so far have only received the 2500 new cardmember bonus. I hope the rest posts eventually. I think this just takes a while sometimes?

For info

Just opened yesterday both personal and business checking with Chase in California. It was the first time both bank employees (one was taking care of personal accounts and the other was doing the business) saw this offer. But they simply followed the instructions and everything was smooth. And the offer I had printed for the personal account did mention the "except branches in California". It wasn't a problem and everything went thru.

How odd. That's the only part of the bonus I haven't received.

Do you have a business for you business checking and did they ask you anything to verify your business?

Same here.

I remember that last 2500 being delayed for me too. Posted about a month after the rest.

I applied for an instant EIN on the IRS web site. https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp . For business type I put "Sole Proprietorship", type of business "consulting", reason for getting EIN, to open bank account. It issues you an instant pdf letter with your EIN that you can print. That letter and my personal ID was all I showed them to open my business account.

I went down to my branch with my EIN letter I printed off the IRS web site.

A printout of the coupon from https://www.chase.com/index.jsp?pg_n..._Business_9898

A printout of the coupon from https://www.chase.com/index.jsp?pg_n..._Consumer_9939 for the personal account.

And $600 cash ($100 for the personal and $500 for the business)

The Chase business account was opened as a "Sole Proprietorship". The rep said "Oh, good, those are easy to set up, with an EIN I thought it would be a corporation". She asked me for a business license. I said I don't have one. She said "let me check what you need...... and consulted her system. Then she said, oh, it says here an EIN alone is just fine.... WAMU would have never allowed that but it looks like that is all you need for Chase.

It was all very easy. Any chit chat questions about my "business" I answered from the perspective of if I were freelance consulting in my customary line of work, which I would do if I had any clients. That I have no clients is not relevant to opening the account.
