I don't see why not. It seems like it matches your registration on Name/Address/Email.

Also, did you apply for the personal or business account?

Ok figured so. Maybe I’ll do it if I’m bored and passing one. Personal.

I don't believe they pull your credit report for a bank account.

Soft pull, per DoC

Got this message for both my wife and I:

You’ll need to visit a branch to open your new account.
Sorry, we aren’t able to confirm your identity at this time. We can help you open your account at a branch.

I had to upload a pic of my license online for verification but I guess YMMV

Waste of time. Tried both for me and my wife.
"We're sorry, we were unable to open your account.
If you would like to learn more about why you were not approved, please click here."

"Identity could not be verified
Unable to find credit profile at bureau"

Has anyone been able to open up an account?

Yes both my wife and I and many positive DP's on DOC.

Is your credit report frozen?

Upgrade is offering a really nice up to $500 bonus to open a new savings account (5.21% APY).

Once you sign up, generate your own referral code so you can refer your SO to get $500 bonus and you also get another $500 ($1000 additional).

The other recent offer posted upthread was $200 but required only $1k deposit, this one is $15k+ (for $75 bonus) and $100k+ for the full $500. Not sure that’s a better offer.

Any idea why I'm getting this message when I apply. This happened to my wife's application as well?

I used you referral link. Somehow I ended up with a savings account as well. Any idea how that happened? Also, my referral link only shows $50 for me and $200 for signup. Lastly, I am not seeing an option to add Upgrade instantly to my Chase account. It is making me send trial deposits to verify the account. Is there any easier way to do this? Thanks

I called them. It seems like they automatically open a savings account when you open a checking account unless you uncheck a box during the application process. Anyone know if any of the Upgrade Savings promotions are still active?

[mlight]

I did not open a savings account back when I did the offer (when it was for $200) so either that's new or I noticed and unchecked the box, I don't remember. I also had no problems linking my chase accounts. Regarding the referral bonus,  I can't say forsure, but they should update to the higher offer at some point. That's been my experience.  Good luck!
