Can I just get the $300 without getting the card? That would be awesome.

I did this back in Nov, however, I signed up on an application that only offered $200. I did some snooping and then sent them a couple of URL's with this $300 offer and they glady matched it, in fact I received my check a few weeks ago along with a little extra because of the 5% rewards! Love it! Chase is awesome, also took advantage of the $150 bonus for opening a checking accout with them! Almost $500 in free money from Chase, what's not to love?!

You opened a Chase checking account?!? Don't they fee you to death? Chase credit cards are great, but from what I've seen, their deposit accounts are pretty bad. Of course I think any bank that charges fees is pretty bad.

Citi is offering $200 with their Dividend Visa (charge $1000 within first 3 months). I really don't need two more credit cards, but $500 - that I could always use.

This is my favorite cash-back card. I use it for practically everything that can be charged, unless another card trumps it for the moment in a particular spending category. Its rewards program is an obvious copycat of the Discover More card, but Chase made it better with a minimum of 1% back on all purchases, and much higher cash-back limits on the 5% quarterly categories - so much so that Discover appears to have recently raised their cash-back limits. With Discover More, you don't earn 1% on general purchases until you've spent several thousand dollars in the year.

Is this only for new chase customers? Or if you have a chase credit card already, is this invalid?

I already have two other Chase cards, and I had no problem getting this one, which I've had over a year now. You can't, however, get another Chase Freedom card, if you already have one. I recently tried to get the MasterCard version but they sent me a letter saying I already have a Chase Freedom Visa.

I did this last year. Bought a laptop, paid off the card, and got a check promptly from Chase. No interest paid, the account is still open with a 0 balance. No worries, there are no inactivity fees either.

Being that it is a credit card company I'm sure theirs a trick to this like high interest or something but it does appear to be a sweet deal if the 5 points in credit score doesn't hurt you too badly

Keep in mind that applying for anything that requires a hard credit pull will decrease your credit score.

what do you mean by hard credit pull, please

A 'hard pull' means that it (negatively) affects your credit score. It goes down by I think around 5 points, then should go back up again in about 6 months.

Hard credit pulls stay on your credit report for two years. One or two may have little or no effect on your score, especially if you are approved for a decent line of credit and don't run it up, since that decreases your percentage of total credit line utilization.

At creditkarma.com you can get your score for free anytime, without having to buy, try out, or cancel anything. They have a "credit simulator" that lets you see the effect on your score for any number of good or bad credit events. When I add one simulated hard credit pull to my two existing real ones, my score drops 3 points, then only two points each for a 4th and 5th one.

CreditKarma claims that a number hard pulls for mortgage and auto loans over a short period (3 weeks) doesn't have a negative effect on your credit score, since it is assumed you're shopping around for the best financing deal.
