Chase recently began sending out emails to confirm when a bonus has posted to your account. Below are images of Chase bank bonuses and Chase credit card referral bonuses, there may be others too. It’s always nice to have confirmation of this, especially with referral bonuses when you might not even know someone used your link.
The bank bonus email is sent a couple of days after the bonus is credited to your bank account. The referral email is sent on your statement close date when the bonus points will show to your account (so the email is a few hours before you’ll actually see the points available).
Let us know if you’ve gotten a similar email for signup bonuses or other Chase credits.

Thanks to friends Sam and @MilesForMatt
I got a referral bonus email to. It was my first referral, so I didn’t know that they used to not send out emails. I was pleasantly surprised!
I received bonus confirmation email for Savings account
Are these emails sent to those of us who only have credit card accounts with Chase, or do they go only to those who have checking accounts?
Credit card referral emails probably don’t depend on a checking account
No email but got bonus
I got a bonus and nada, no email.
Got it for my Chase savings account bonus!
Chase bonuses post exactly what was written on the terms & conditions. If it says, bonus would be posted within 10 days of meeting requirement, it will post within 10 days unlike Citi.
I got a email confirming the bonus for a Chase Southwest Plus card referral. Pleasantly surprised!
CHASE is now watching you more than ever. Apparently the bonus confirmation email was also sent to the banker who opened my account. Got a phone call saying “Your bonus posted”, followed by the beginnings of a sales pitch about financial planning and generally nosey questions about the assets I have and what I plan to do with them. Not a big fan of bank reps snooping around in my account.
This has been a thing for awhile now… calling to see “how you are doing” after the bonus pops. Talked to them a couple times, and they slip into the convo that they see my bonus has posted.
I concur with your sentiment that I don’t like the snooping, but I believe it’s their right. (I would guess their system e-mail used to pop only on the banker side – now it’s two messages) They are hoping to build a lasting relationship – not a “3-6-month” stand. People that aren’t unaccustomed to bank bonuses are probably quite appreciative that they got “free” money and that it is available. Not everyone checks their account daily like churners. Remember back in the day you used to have to actually balance your checkbook and wait for a monthly statement to reconcile? Some, to a lot of people, still live that life.
One of the bank bonuses that are guaranteed each year.
