$100 Cash Bonus to Open Free Chase Checking Account - with Direct Deposit

For those of you who live in an area serviced by Chase Bank (I think it's largely New York City and its suburbs, but also some other cities like Chicago, Dallas, Houston and more -- you probably know if they're nearby), here's an offer that may be worth paying attention.

From now through August 31, Chase is offering $100 bonus if you open a checking account that includes direct deposit. As long as it has direct deposit the account is free. To keep the $100 bonus, the account has to stay open at least 6 months, and the $100 is considered as interest for tax purposes. If you need to find a new bank or are just flexible with where you can keep your money, this is a great way to make some free cash while still getting free checking.

This is the link to the offer. When you click on it, it will generate a unique code which you print out and bring to the branch to open your account.

Good luck to those of you near Chase branches!
