So Chase sent me a promotion since I have a Amazon credit card with them to try and get me to sign up for a checking and savings account with them. It would be a little work, but I'm thinking it may be worth it.

Open a new chase total checking account (set up direct deposit) and open a new chase savings account and keep 15k in it for 90 days and they will give you 900 dollars for doing both.

I keep around 20k in SPAXX (5.1% ) as a emergency fund anyway. 15K of it would earn about 200 dollars over 90 days. And my current bank earns 4.6% on savings if I direct depost to it that I keep my daily comings and goings from, about 3k. So it would earn about 35 dollars in 3 months. So about 235 dollars it would earn in 90 days.

The catch is chase doesn't pay squat for savings (0.01%) and charge $12 a month if you don't have a balance of $5,000 or more in any combination of savings and checking and $5 a month if you don't have a balance at the beginning of each day of $300 in your savings account.

But if I just open it, set it up for 3 months, and then cancel it. Say a few hours (day at most) total worth of work in the form of a few clickity clicks here and there. I would get a extra 650 dollars or so.

I feel like I should do this.

ChatGPT: It sounds like you've done a good analysis of the offer. If you're willing to put in the effort to open the accounts, set up the direct deposit, and maintain the required balance for 90 days, it could be a worthwhile deal. Just make sure to read the fine print carefully to understand any potential fees or requirements. If you're comfortable with the process and can easily cancel the accounts after the promotional period, it could be a good way to earn some extra money.

I say do it. Back in the day we bought new cellphones via verizon's pay over time plan that goes into your monthly bill, switched to T-Mobile when they were paying off your cellphones for switching, and then switched back after a couple of months
