Conclusion
This is a great bonus for a bank account. But you need to deposit a large amount, $75,000, and keep it in there for 90 days. Investment and savings accounts are also eligible, so those could be better options than checking.
You also need that 75K balance in your account to avoid the $25 monthly fee. Other Chase bank bonuses require you to keep the account open for 6 months, but for this bonus it’s not stated in the terms.

This is really tempting. I moved money back to Bank of America last month to re-qualify my Platinum Honors Preferred Rewards status for another year so I’m free to move the cash out again. $1,000 bonus is a really nice offer.
@ Pam…CDs are excluded from this offer specifically! Checking, Savings and investments are ok but CDs are excluded.
a couple of Q:
1. “Customers must have a Chase Sapphire® or Chase Freedom® credit card ” — this is not on the promo page, are you talking about 60K UR points?
2. $1k bonus is to be 1099’ed?
I did this a few months ago for 75,000 Ultimate Rewards points which I valued higher than $1,000 as I used them to stay for $1,000 a night hotels with Hyatt (60,000 Hyatt points). I would have kept the account if they had SOME/ANY option for a higher interest rate Money Market account like many other banks. But NO they had NO money market account options with decent interest rates so I moved all my funds out.
Chase offers high interest CDs if you have a Sapphire acct – I got my UR bonus off their 9 mth 2% CD.
You could have invested the 75k into a YouInvest account -> Vanguard money market 2.25%ish at the time. That’s what I did when I did this bonus earlier this year.
