Fees
Chase Premier Plus Checking account has a monthly service fee of $25. However, you have a few options to have it waived:
- Keep an average daily balance of $15,000 or more in any combination of qualifying Chase checking, savings and other balances.
- Have automatic payments to your qualifying linked Chase mortgage from your Chase account. Payments set up through Online Bill Pay do not qualify. Mortgages must be in good standing and be first mortgages with servicing retained by Chase
- Also fee free for active duty and veterans.
Conclusion
This is a great bonus with easy requirements. You just need a direct deposit of any amount.
Chase offers the same bonus of $300 for their Total Checking account which can be kept fee free with only $1,500 balance instead of $15,000 required for the Premier Plus Checking account. But you are still able to downgrade this account to the Total Checking account after receving bonus. Chase usually waives the fee the first two months and you can also ask them to waive a monthly fee at least once.
However this bonus is the best option for those that don’t have a Chase location nearby since it can be opened online.

So I’ve been going back and forth about these. The Wells Fargo one you put up past week or so and now this one. My curiosity as I’m new to these is how long does the account need to remain open to get the rewards? Do they claw them back if you close it in a month or two after opening?
It varies, but for this one you must keep account open for 6 months to keep the bonus.
