True, honesty is always simpler. But I am already banned from getting any Chase CCs (I guess I had too many United, CO, Amazon, and Sony cards...), so I don't want to raise a red flag with Chase banking and also get banned by them...

Yes, I did ask them about that and basically, you have to use your debit card as a credit card, for example at the store.
If the machine asks you for a pin, just hit "cancel" and it will go through the process as a credit card type transaction.

Ok. That is what I thought.

You don't have to be approved for the Chase Continental debit card do you? I would find that very strange.

I hope I don't. I'll only be relieved when the 50,000 miles are in my account.

The two bonuses posted to my gf's account a few days ago...the personal was opened on 11/20 and they posted in one bonus of 10k and the other of 12.5k.

I'm still waiting for my purchase miles to post from two statements on my own personal account. Has anyone else experienced these delays in getting miles to post from purchases?

My miles from purchases have always posted monthly on the first day of each month. If you don't have them yet, you should get them on Jan 1.

Also indicates that the $25 personal debit card qualifies for the second 15K miles.


January 1st, we all score again :D

are you sure they evaluate "calender year" as you thought?

chase checking
 
Was told yesterday the checking requires 5 debits per month to avoid a fee, or a direct deposit

If so, you're okay, even if it says "Debit Card Transaction" in the "Type" field.

A "real" debit card transaction (i.e., PIN transaction) would not start with "C A*..."



Hey guys,...new to Chase and to using Debit cards (have only ever had credit cards and ATMs), so excuse the silly questions to follow,...

Signed up last week for the CO/Chase checking account offer. Debit card arrived today,...ran out and made 6 non-pin purchases at a grocery store.

When I logged into Chase online shortly thereafter, the 6 transactions appear as follows:

Date Type Description Debit Credit Balance
Pending Misc. Debit POS DEBIT "STORE / CITY /STATE" $1.86
Pending Misc. Debit POS DEBIT "STORE / CITY /STATE" $1.77
etc, etc,...

My questions is, since my transactions do NOT start with "C A*...." as noted above, did something go wrong with my purchases? Or since they are still "pending", will the transactions be updated later with the "C A*...."? Is this normal for Chase online checking?

FYI,...in all 6 cases, I chose CREDIT CARD for payment type and did NOT enter a PIN. I signed when each sale was complete.

Thanks again for the time.

When you log into your account their is a option that you can select entitled Show Rewards. By selecting that link you'll be able to see the miles you earned.

Did you also get the Chase Continental debit card or the regular debit card?

Sorry if it has been asked ... but for the business one, do you need a EIN number?

From my experience and other reports here, we were asked for EIN and it was promptly provided to the banker.

Don't worry. In a day or two the "Pending Misc Debit" will change to a "C A*" charge.

My wild guess is that Chase gets real-time information on the amount of charge, (all the better to sock you with overdraft fees, I'd imagine), then later gets information on the type of charge.

Nope, wasn't asked for one and did not have one anyways.
