Chase Checking $125

[gozalim]

i recieved in the mail an offer to open a chase (personal) checking account and receive $125
(with direct deposit)

is that the best CASH bonus on a chase personal account?
(I've seen the ones for 28,000 miles)

You'd rather have $125 that you'd also owe interest on than 25,000 non-taxable miles?

[Cheap dude]

Owe interest?

[Dan]

Owe interest?

Any money or gift that you get for opening a bank account (excluding miles) is considered interest and will be reported to the IRS.

I got $225 for opening one...a few months ago. Had to do direct deposit and ACH mortgage from the account over to my chase mortgage

 thats what I told a friend who got the offer in the mail today, he said hed rather get the $125 as he hardly ever flys.

 the question is can both be had the same yr or is it 1 or the other?

[Cheap dude]

I know the miles offer is once every calender year.

I think u can open both I have. 

For the 25k co miles you have to pay 25$ for the co debit card.
