Need to print coupon and take it to branch.

Offer valid from 7/24/07 through 11/30/07 when opening a new Chase BusinessClassicSM, Chase BusinessCustomSM or Chase BusinessPlus® Checking Account with a Chase Visa® Business Check Card. Initial deposit must be made with funds not currently held on deposit with Chase. Limit one business checking account related award/premium per customer, per calendar year. Offer not available on account conversions or in combination with any other offer. Offer not valid on previously opened accounts. Cash bonus will be automatically deposited into your new Chase business checking account within 10 business days after opening your new account with a Chase Visa Business Check Card. Bonus is considered interest and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT.

Edit: Edited to change title to reflect in branch only.

This can still be a lucrative offer, however watch out for the monthly service fees. The Chase Business Classic (most basic sole prop account) has a monthly fee of $9 in NY, unless you have a $5000 avg monthly balance.

I received a coupon in the mail with a similar offer.

most likely they will ask for the business licence. Not a bid deal, here in scottsdale, business licence costs 12 dollars per year.

My housemate recieved one of these in the mail, so he signed up stating that he has a tutoring business(he's a TA). They didn't require a business license, only his SSN. It was just as easy as the personal account $100 deal, and you get a box of the large size business checks, lol. I've been waiting for this offer to go public, and I will most certainly be trying it. Thanks OP!

Am I missing something obvious, or are there really no Chase branches in SoCal?

Too bad, no branches in nearby radius in Washington or Oregon...

Would have been a great deal. Green anyways for OP.

Does anyone know if Chase has branches In Maryland/Virginia area? I can't seem to locate a local branch. Can this deal be done over the phone if no local branch?

theficus said:You can open this over the phone too.

I was told that to open a Chase Business account over the phone, Chase must have a branch in that state. I am not sure if Chase has a branch in Maryland or Virginia.

noSSNumber said:They said unless you're licensed professional such as lawyer, accountant, engineer, etc. - they can't open business account without your biz being registered with state.

I was trying sole proprietorship shpil - but this was the answer at this branch.

Hey, there are thousands of Chase branches in NY. Has anyone succeeded with this bonus without registering the business?

I'm in NYS and I was successful opening one of these with the $200 promotion earlier this week. I made up a bogus company name, chewed the shit about my "company" for a couple minutes, and 30 minutes later received a handshake and a tracking number for my $200, which should be deposited within 10 business days. Chase usually pays out much quicker, though.

The first question I asked him was if I needed any paperwork for opening a Business checking. He said no.

i just did this offer today (i actually need a commercial checking accnt). min deposit was 100 in savings and 100 in checking for me. 200 would be credited 5-7 business days. i did bring llc papers and tax id number.
