For those interested in bank bonuses:
DoC just shared that you can now open the Chase $500 checking + savings offer online: https://www.reddit.com/r/churning/comments/7z1rcm/chase_300_checking_200_savings_bonus_online/
Unfortunately for those not near a Chase branch this won't work. AND that's the only reason I was excited to see it online, it's not terribly hard to go in and open this in branch if you live near one haha. I will comment that if you're traveling to an area with Chase branches you can open in person even if you don't live nearby. I did this on a business trip to Cleveland last year (live in Pittsburgh). If you aren't into bank account bonuses yet - might be worth checking out. It's a pretty nice way to earn some additional cash!
It does seem intriguing, if I'm understanding this right to get both bonuses ($500) I need 15k held for 90 days in the savings and then after that only $1300 of that held hostage for another 3 months (at least 6 months total) to avoid fees. If so we might be able to swing that, but my hang up is probably going to be direct deposit. We really don't have anything that counts as a DD from his list so we'd need an actual DD which is a PITA for my company, I think hubby's is easier but that means I need buy in from him to open it Need my ducks in an row for that so it sounds simple and legal (he's still not 100% behind churning/travel hacking... ... not even gonna get into it...)
OT sorta: I looked at the Chase map of locations... not a single one in PA? Totally weird, they're falling all over themselves in NJ and a good showing in OH but giant blank hole in PA. Being in the Philly area not too bad, there's drivable locations but makes it less desirable than opening it online sitting in my PJ's
