I did the regular debit card, and rewards are not showing yet. I figured that would take a few days to show up.

Thanks, figured as much. Just want to get these transactions out of the way as soon as possible.

Ok. B/c the reg debit card will only yield 10k miles. You need the Chase CO card to get the additional 15k.

Sorry,...I meant to say I got the CO Debit card, NOT the the CO Preferred Debit card. 25K will come from either card.

I was asked for an EIN OR a business license OR a fictitious business name registration.

I chose the former since it was available instantly on-line for free whereas the latter two would have required a trip to the court house and paying a fee.

I was curious about the exact meaning of this, so I sent Chase a secure e-mail, asking if the 5 debits had to be in calendar month, or 5 debits on each statement.

It's the latter: "Chase Checking (SM) has no monthly service fee when there is a monthly direct deposit to the account or you make five or more debit card purchases in a statement period."

Has anyone closed their account after receiving their miles? If so any problems encountered?

When I signed up for the account on Friday, in the documents I was given it clearly states that if the account is closed before 6 months your miles maybe debited from your OP account.

I think others in this thread have mentioned closing an account before 6 months without having any problems, but I'll play it safe by keeping it open for 6 months.

what if you use them and then close it. what are they going to do, fly you back ?

Probably. :D

Others have posted their experience with Chase and United. Chase pulled the miles back out from the United account, which created a negative United balance. United in turn sent the account holder a bill for whatever amount it sold the miles for.

I have not read anyone with any experience with Chase and Continental. You can try and report back.

real issue at hand.
mrs. opened up a personal and business acct. today with both certificates.she came home and the papers stated she will be getting 15k for each account(she had a seprate paper for each acct),no mention of the 10k for just opening the acct..

I would double check with the person whom assisted her in opening the account b/c she should have received the paper mentioning the 10k for making one qualified purchase.

The personal one is free and the business one you can opt for the 25$ annual fee card, right? (or the other way around) ... Either way, one is free and one has a 25$ fee?

Thanks

I don't know about the business account, but if you opt for the CO card with your personal account there is a annual fee of $25 which is charged to your account one month after it has been opened.
