Chase bonus: $400

Everything you need to know to collect it, taken from Chase's own terms. Most people miss a bonus over one small rule, like the wrong kind of deposit or closing too early.

Chase Total Checking

Bonus
$400
To qualify
$1,000 direct deposit within 90 days
What counts as a direct deposit
Real payroll, pension or government benefit deposits. Transfers from your other bank accounts, Zelle and Venmo don't count. More
Who can open it
Anyone in the US, online
Monthly fee
$15 a month, waived with $500 or more in direct deposits a month
When the bonus is paid
Within about 15 days after you finish the requirements
Keep it open
At least until the bonus posts. Chase's offer doesn't list a penalty for closing early, but some banks take the bonus back within 6 months, so 6 months is the safe choice.
