New customers only (You need to have closed your account at least 90 days ago)
Once you have a chase checking account, you are automatically enrolled in Chase Exclusives. This means that you will get a 10% bonus on any cashback from your Chase Freedom, plus an extra 10 cents for every transaction from your Chase Freedom.
This checking account is free if you either keep a $1,500 balance, have $5000 in all of your chase accounts (including savings) or have a direct deposit of $500 every month.
As always, take a screen shot of the promotion so that you have proof of it in case it is ever challenged by Chase.
