Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NY)

On Friday XX/XX/2023, I opened a new Checking account and new Savings account at Chase bank, clicking the Promotion link below : XXXX XXXX XXXXchaseXXXX The Promotion offered a sign-up bonus for {$900.00} total ( {$300.00} for meeting the checking account requirements, {$200.00} for meeting the savings requirements, and an additional {$400.00} for meeting both requirements ). The requirements are listed at the bottom of this summary, also Printed to PDF and attached. 

Per the attached bank statements from the Checking and Savings accounts - I received XXXX direct deposit from my employer ( XXXX XXXX ) to the Checking account, and also kept a balance of at least {$15000.00} for greater than 90 days. 

After calling Chase multiple times, they said I was ineligible for the bonus, as the promotion codes were not applied to the account at the time of opening. However, the Chase link states that " Coupon code applied when you choose " Open an account '' '' which is what I chose.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to resolving this matter.

The bonus requirements that I fulfilled are listed below, copy/pasted from Chase 's terms : To receive the checking bonus : 1 ) Open a new Chase Total Checking account, which is subject to approval ; AND 2 ) Have your direct deposit made to this account within 90 days of coupon enrollment.
