I initially got only one printout, too. I didn't even know there were two, but I asked the banker why the printout didn't show 25K but some other K. He looked in the system, found the second page, and printed it for me.

Just thought I would mention that I also have successfully had the annual fees for both the personal and business debit cards reversed. All it took was a politely written email sent via the secure message system of chase.com and I had a response and credit within 2 hours for the biz, 10 hours for the personal account. I sent the two requests about a week apart.

how did you get it reversed i sent them a nice email in the secure message saying oh i thought the charge comes at the end iof the yr to see if i like the service and they responded no the charge comes a month after the card is opened
what can i do?

Did you ask to have it reversed? If you only asked about the fee and didn't specifically ask for a reversal (as a goodwill gesture of course), they saw no reason to do so.

I would also like to know...looking to take advantage of this promotion as well and anything to limit the cost is always appreciated.

but what is my basis for them to reverse the charge if it was in the fine print for the card? thank you so much

Debit Card Annual Fee Refund
 

When you sign up for this promo, you know that it comes w/ an annual fee. That said, I still try to get the annual fee refunded. So, use your best efforts to get the annual fee refunded, but don't be surprised if they say no. Chase normally limits these courtesy gestures to once a year.

I think ArizonaGuy hit the main points for requesting the annual fee be refunded.

Good luck.

Well, I got my biz debit card annual fee refunded. Just sent a polite note asking them to refund it for the first year as a courtesy as is typical with most debit and credit cards and they did it.

Will send a note about the personal card in a few days. 50k CO miles for free is an awesome deal in my book.

Thanks a lot AZGuy for the heads-up. :)

I have a quick question on the current offer, it says at the beginning

2. Open a Chase CheckingSM account, set up direct deposit "and" make a qualifying purchase with your Chase Continental Airlines Preferred Debit Card

But the detailed clause reads as

Also, to qualify for the first 10,000 bonus miles you must make 5 debit card purchases with any Chase debit card linked or used to access the new account "or" initiate a repeating direct deposit such as payroll, Social Security or other government benefits.

Is it a "OR" or "AND" for the two requirements?

Thanks

It's both. For the 10,000 bonus miles you have to EITHER have direct deposit OR make 5 debit card purchases.

For the 15,000 bonus miles you have to open a checking account with a CO debit card AND make ONE qualifying purchase. It's that simple. They are two offers totaling 25,000 miles and each offer has its own requirements.

$30 just posted. Thanks again techboyds. Free money is nice and easy:D

+1. Got it for both personal and business accounts. :D Thanks techboyds.

I'm also trying to sign up for the personal checking account online. Since I have a chase credit card, here's what I did:

1. Logged into chase account online
2. Clicked "Products & Services" tab
3. Clicked "Banking"
4. Clicked "Checking Accounts"
5. Clicked "Apply" button under "Chase Checking SM"
6. Clicked "I would like to start a new application", and entered promo code from link here (on a refreshed page)
7. Filled out application through to where it asks me to select a card type and shows the promo code again

My concerns are:
(a) None of the debit card types listed have the 25,000 listed. The Continental OnePass card ($25 fee) was listed, but when I clicked on the terms, it was only 5000 points (2500+2500). Did I approach this correctly?
(b) No place to enter my onepass account, but I assume that answer is buried in this thread.
(c) Debit account doesn't do a hard pull on my credit right? I'm doing some credit score cleaning in effort to apply for the citi deal in Oct.


Did I go through the right steps to open a personal account online? Was I supposed to select a different checking account type? What type of confirmation do I get on the 25,000 promotion?

Thank you.

Thank you.[/QUOTE]

You probably should use the link in post #1

I followed that link, got the refreshed promo code, and began application using steps above. Under the "Opening Deposit" step is where I select the card type (and the promo number is shown). When clicking for details the "Continental Airlines Preferred Debit Card ($65 annual fee per checking account)" card radio button option, it says 2500 miles + 2500 miles ...

UPDATE:

Contacted a CSR online. Here are some responses for reference to others:

When finishing the application, it did give a tracking # and confirmation of at least the 15000 miles. Thanks all!
