As always, please do your due diligence reading and understanding the official terms and conditions on the institution's website! Opinions expressed on this site are my own, and I receive referral bonuses when you sign up and meeting requirements. Make sure you follow all terms and conditions!
Big Bank Bonuses
[$900] Chase Checking and Savings - Amazing Nationwide combo bonus.
Earn $300 for opening a checking account and receive a direct deposit within 90 days. Earn $200 for opening a savings account and depositing $15,000 of new money within 30 days, holding until the 90 days. Open both at the same time and get an additional $400!
Sadly, doesn't look like referrals work for the $900 version. One of the best bonuses I've personally seen online! Offer lasts until 7/24/2024!
There is also a $300 version for the checking account only. Email me at churning.jimmyjohns@gmail.com for a referral code!
Completing the savings portion of the bonus earns an additional $200 + $400. Assuming you only deposited $15,000 for 60 days, that's earning 4% on your deposit in just 60 days!
