To see the offer you need to be logged into a chase account.

- The first deposit must be within 60 days of your account opening
- You can expect the $125 bonus within 60 days (faster than our Bank Of America payment then!)

For anyone hunting for a new bank account, Bank Of America are offering a mouth watering $75 for new customers who sign up here, before April 30th 2008.
They say - To receive your $75, apply online or go to your nearest banking center. Use offer code AOU260208.
You can do this online, or in one of the many Bank Of America branches.
Note: Be patient with Bank Of America over this… we signed up with an account a year and a half ago for the $50 bonus… it took over a year for the money to go into our account as they couldn’t find the offer code we gave at the time. So - when you apply, ensure you keep a note of this offer code and MAKE SURE the bank teller (if you do it in a branch) correctly enters your offer code…I was told if the bank teller doesn’t enter the code, you will not get the money even if the offer was running at the time.
