It had been almost twelve months since I last saw a $125 Chase Checking bonus, then last week I received a $100 coupon in the mail and then yesterday, HustlerMoneyBlog posted a link that will generate a $125 coupon.

You can go through his site to get the coupon or try my link posted below. Here are the steps:

1. Hold CTRL and click on this link so a new window opens.
2. Log into your Chase account. I do not think you can generate the coupon without an active Chase account.
3. Stay in the browser and leave the two windows open.
4. Come back to the Rocket Finance page, hold CTRL and click the link up in point #1 again.
5. A third window should open and give you a $125 coupon, print it or write down the coupon code immediately.

Take the coupon to your nearest Chase branch and open a new checking account. In order to qualify for the bonus, you must open with at least $100 and set up direct deposit within 60 days. I have had success in qualifying for the bonus using both my work payroll direct deposit and ING Direct.

Remember that the account must stay open for at least six months and the $125 will count as interest income on IRS Form 1099-INT.

I printed off six extra coupons – contact me if you want one. They go really fast!

I had just about given up hope that Chase was ever going to revive its bonus coupons for checking accounts with direct deposit. Many of you have contacted me in hopes of finding a coupon over the past year, but I had not seen one since last April or May. Then, last week, we had one delivered to the house. The $100 bonus coupon was in a flyer that went out to everyone in our neighborhood.

Every, year, my wife and I open new Chase checking accounts in order to qualify for bonuses. The last couple of years, the bonuses were $125 apiece. An extra $250 is a nice way to start off the new year. We are still looking for a coupon for my wife, maybe one of our neighbors still has one . . .

Chase allows customers to redeem one coupon every calendar year. It is kind of a pain to change our direct deposit and close the other accounts, but the bonus is worth it. I don’t have any coupon codes to give away to any readers, but thought all of you might want to know that this particular bonus is still alive!

You will qualify for the $100 bonus if you schedule direct deposit and execute at least five debit card transactions. My wife and I open new Chase accounts every year and get a little boost to our passive income. If you feel the need for a new Chase Checking account. Here is the link.

Many of you have been emailing me looking for Chase Checking bonuses. Hustlermoneyblog posted a link that will generate a $100 checking account bonus. You might also be able to open this account online.

Act soon because Chase has been known to pull these links down quickly.

As I mentioned last week – I was able to get more Chase checking bonus coupons. I obtained eight more coupon codes, but I have been sending them through e-mail almost as fast I can find them. There are only three left.

Long-time readers of this blog will remember that my wife and I once made almost $5,000 through bank and credit card bonuses. Currently, we are trying to keep our credit score high, so we don’t try to qualify for credit card bonuses anymore, however we still like to pick up the occasional bank bonus. Unfortunately, bank bonuses have almost completely dried up over the past six months.

That’s why we were pretty excited to see a new $125 bonus coupon for new checking accounts with direct deposit from Chase. Last week, Mrs. Rocket and I both opened Chase checking accounts that will qualify for the $125 bonus. We have separate checking accounts and a portion of my monthly paycheck is deposited into each account. Chase allows one checking account bonus per customer per year so we open a new Chase account every year. We are each on our third account.

I can send the physical coupon through the mail or just the coupon code through email – usually all you need is the numerical code in order to qualify. The deadline to open an account is April 15th and you must set up direct deposit in order to qualify for the bonus. I usually just change my payroll direct deposit whenever I open a new account, but many people have success by “faking” a regular direct deposit through PayPal or ING Direct.

The coupon cannot be used online, you must open the account in a physical chase branch. Leave a comment below or contact me to request a $125 Chase Checking coupon code.
