The Offer

Direct link to offer

• Chase is offering a bonus of $300 when you open a new Chase Savings account and deposit $25,000 or more in new money within 10 business days of account opening and maintain that balance for 90 days.

 

The Fine Print

• Savings offer is not available to existing Chase savings customers, those with fiduciary accounts, or those whose accounts have been closed within 90 days or closed with a negative balance.
• To receive the bonus: 1) Open a new Chase SavingsSM account, which is subject to approval; 2) Deposit a total of $25,000 or more in new money within 10 business days of account opening; AND 3) Maintain at least a $25,000 balance for 90 days from the date of deposit.
• The new money cannot be funds held by Chase or its affiliates.
• After you have completed all the above requirements, we’ll deposit the bonus in your new account within 10 business days. F
•  You can only receive one new savings account opening related bonus every two years from the last enrollment date and only one bonus per account
• The bonus is considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT(or Form 1042-S, if applicable).

Avoiding Fees

This account has a $5 monthly fee that is waived if you do any of the following:

• Maintain a daily balance of at least $300 or more
• Have at least one repeating automatic transfer of $25 or more from your Chase personal checking account
• Are under 18 years of age
• Have a linked Chase Premier Plus, Chase Premier Platinum Checking or Chase Private Client checking account.

Our Verdict

Chase typically offers two savings bonuses:

• $200 for depositing $15,000 and maintaining for 90 days
• $150 for depositing $10,000 and maintaining for 90 days 

Your return actually decreases as the bonus increases. This deal works out to be over 4.8% APY, not outrageous for a savings bonus but still pretty good. Keep in mind some savings accounts offer 5% long term so those might be better options for some people. If you’re considering this offer make sure you do the $300 checking bonus at the same time as well. I’d also recommend checking for in branch pre-approvals as these by pass the dreaded 5/24 rule. I won’t be adding this to the best savings bonuses because it’s targeted.
