I don't believe Chase bank has been talked about before, so here it goes.
I recently opened a checking account with them through one of their promotions; start a checking account with a $100 minimum and they give $100 so long as you keep the account open for 6 months. Great deal, and I was aware that in order to not be charged the $6 monthly service fee you had to either use your debit card 5 times a month or had direct deposit set up.
The third month after I opened the account they charged me a $6 dollar service fee, so I called and it was their mistake. I let it slide, mistakes happen. I was recently charged another $6 dollar service fee for my checking account so I called again, irritated that they would make this mistake yet another time. It turns out however that it was not a mistake. I did not use my debit card 5 times this billing statement. When I opened the account, the banker told me that I had to use it at least 5 times in a calender month.
So now, once I have had the account open for 6 months I will gladly close it due to the many errors and misinformation that has been happening. I know they did not make a large error, however if I am going through this much grief with Chase in less than 6 months, they are certainly not a company I will continue to do business with for fear of further fees, errors, etc.
And I thought opening an account with Chase would end my day with horrible Wells Fargo! Chase is starting to make them look good!
