Forget free toasters and t-shirts, these days banks are fighting tooth and nail for your business.
Chase is one of the most generous with offers in the hundreds of dollars when you open a new account.
Chase Bank changes these offers up frequently. I've seen offers for $350 all the way up to $500. Sometimes there will be multiple promotions on the same accounts, so always go with the higher one if you can meet the balance requirements! We maintain a list of the best bank promotions for a checking and a savings account.
For each offer, you can open an account online or you can request a Chase coupon via email and bring it to your local branch to open an account.
The current available Chase promotional offers are:

How to Get a Promotional Chase Coupon
To get these deals, you need go to the website and request a “Chase coupon.”
The bonus terms and conditions are above but to get access to the offer, you'll need to go to the Chase website and request a “coupon.”
Now go to your email account and print out the email they sent. Take it to a branch and open an account. You will need to bring the email, either as a printout or on your phone, so they can enter in the coupon code. It's a long string of letters and numbers.
If you go to a Chase branch without one of these coupons, wit the coupon code, they may not give you the offer. Go with the coupon and avoid any questions.
That's all you need to do to get the promotional coupon offer!
Who Is Not Eligible for Chase Bonuses?
There are rules regarding who is eligible for these offers – for each of the checking and savings offers, you cannot get the bonus if you're an existing Chase customer for that product. So if you have an existing Chase checking account, you cannot get the bonus for the checking offer. If you have an existing Chase savings account, you cannot get the Chase savings account offer.
Also, you can only get one new checking and one new savings account bonus every two years based on the enrollment date.
That's it – enjoy the free cash!
