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!

March 8, 2017 at 10:00 amWow. That’s a solid ROI on your money. Unfortunately there no Chase banks in my area.

March 9, 2017 at 11:46 amI’ve seen $500 offers here in NYC. I only got $200 for savings when I opened mine though…and $200 for checking.
Kendall L Butler says
May 20, 2019 at 2:41 pmHow did it take to receive the $200?
Harmony Collins says
March 13, 2017 at 4:03 amMy banker lied to me about this promotion! I was told 3-10 days was the waiting period for the $200 deposit. Now, I see its 60 days!!! Id like to file a complaint.
Jim Wang says
March 13, 2017 at 7:23 amWaiting period as in how long you have to keep the funds in the account? Maybe there was a mis-communication because the bonus will be deposited within 10 days.
Brach says
February 21, 2019 at 9:46 am60 days from the day you open the checking account is the time limit for meeting the direct deposit requirement.
Jon says
April 13, 2017 at 4:49 pmIf I’m not that interested, can I just leave? Let’s say I deposit my money in the first week, get the bonus, but decide not to stay. Are there fees or requirements to worry about? From a simple glance at the website and the fine print it looks as though I could close my account the next month and take the money back to my old institution. Is the thought that’s a lot of work so very few people will actually do it?
Jim Wang says
April 14, 2017 at 6:39 amSure – but they’ll take the bonus money back.
Jenn says
January 22, 2018 at 12:14 pmConcerning the $500 offer don’t you have to keep your account for 90 days or is it 6 months? Regardless it’s better interest than you can get just about anywhere. Otherwise the interest on their regular savings, like most, is pretty bad.
Jim Wang says
January 22, 2018 at 7:15 pmThe bonus is awarded after 90 days but you need to keep the account open for six months or they take it back.
From the terms & conditions at the bottom of the page: “Account Closing: If either the checking or savings account is closed by the customer or Chase within six months after opening, we will deduct the bonus amount for that account at closing.”
Manish says
January 17, 2018 at 8:23 pmWhere would I get $500 bonus offer? I’m seeing $350 offer for the same accounts.
Jim Wang says
January 18, 2018 at 2:10 pmThe $500 offer comes and goes, I’ll update it if/when it returns.
mary roberts says
May 10, 2018 at 6:05 pmi have a chase checking but would like to know if there is some kind of bonus for opening a savings account? i would transfer at least $25 per pay check to the savings
Jim Wang says
May 11, 2018 at 3:18 pmThe bonuses we list are the only ones I know about – they’re pretty good though, hundreds of dollars!
Alice Lee says
June 14, 2018 at 5:07 pmIs there a promotion for business savings?
Jim Wang says
June 14, 2018 at 7:50 pmYes! Check it out, there’s a $200 bonus.
Yousuf Karim says
December 11, 2018 at 7:22 pmWhat is the definition of new money. Can I write a check to another account and deposit new money. Is there a waiting period to be new money?
Jim Wang says
December 12, 2018 at 7:48 amIt just has to be new to Chase, so transferred in from another source.
Brach says
February 21, 2019 at 9:54 amYou neglected to mention who is NOT eligible for the Chase bonus offers.
1) At the bottom of the offer page, in the “Bonus/Account Information” section:
“Checking offer is not available to existing Chase checking customers.”
“Savings offer is not available to existing Chase savings customers.”
“Both offers are not available to those with fiduciary accounts, or those whose accounts have been closed within 90 days or closed with a negative balance.”
2) Buried in the FAQ section for Chase Bonus Offers:
“Keep in mind, you can receive only one new checking and one new savings account opening related bonus every two years from the last enrollment date and only one bonus per account.”
Jim Wang says
February 21, 2019 at 10:03 amThis is an excellent point, I’ve amended the article, thank you!
Staci A Shelton says
April 22, 2019 at 3:21 pmI opened the savings with 15000 January 18th 2019 and have consistently kept the balance just above. Today is 94 days. Any idea when the $235. bonus will credit?
Jim Wang says
April 22, 2019 at 4:03 pmI would call and check on the bonus, they will know when it will appear.
Ira H Tashman says
April 27, 2019 at 2:56 pmWhat if your checking account has zero balance when you close it after you get the bonus, but less than 6 months? Then how can they take the bonus money back from you?
Jim Wang says
April 29, 2019 at 9:04 amI don’t know but I wouldn’t try – why not wait if that’s your goal?
