I guess this should be under "free stuff" but I think it is kind of warmish.

If you know for a fact this is not a good deal, please post your opinion.

Here are the main points. Read the fine prints. Seems like a good deal.
1. Stop by your local branch by June 30, 2005, open a new Chase Free Checkingsm; with direct deposit and a $500 minimum deposit
2. Mail the redemption coupon your banker provides.
3. Sign up for FREE Online Bill Payment.
4. Pay two unique bills by August 30, 2005.

u dont have to sign up for direct deposit. you can sign up for an account which requires greater initial funding and that will take away the requirement for direct deposit

the fine print:

NOTE: Open a new Chase Free Checkingsm account with direct deposit by 6/30/05. Requires $500 new money (funds not currently held at Chase or Bank One or any of its afilliates). Without monthly direct deposit, monthly average balance qualifiers apply to avoid monthly maintenance and per-transaction fees. Limit one personal checking account-related award/premium per customer, per calendar year. Offer not available for account conversions or in combi­nation with any other offer. You will receive coupon to redeem reward by mail. Coupon must be postmarked by 7/31/05, or it will be considered expired and all rights to the reward will be forfeited. Online payments must be paid from new checking account at www.Chase.com between 6/1/05 and 8/30/05, and be paid to two new unique payees. Payments previously made to a payee outside of the offer window will not be considered new. One iPod shuffle per customer. Please allow 8—10 weeks for delivery of reward. Checking account must remain open for six months or the value of the reward will be debited from the account at closing. Reward may be considered interest reportable on IRS Form 1099 - INT.

Oops I thought it was a credit card as usual.
IS it worth it to have exhaust your credit card limit on an ipod?

What does this have to do with credit cards? This is a checking account.

I signed up for this on Monday. This also applies to BankOne. If your employer is in their system, you qualifies for BankOne At Work Checking and the initial deposit is only $100.
It's a good deal, there is no minimum balance as long as you do DD, so you can withdraw your initial deposit immediately.

Anybody know any specifics as to the 2 payment requirements? I mean can i send $1 a piece to 2 of my family members? I read through the fine print and everything as it was in a few newspapers, but no mention.

Is their online bill payment secure enough? I'm the type that's wary of putting any of my bank information on a website. and does chase charge anything to close a checking account, provided that I want to do so after the 6 months?

I got questions here.
Can you open a Chase Free Checking with DD account at BankOne Branch.
If not, Which BankOne account is eligible for this promotion?

plus you may have to pay tax on $100 (value of ipod shuffle). They consider the "reward" unearned income
