I received in the mail one of those open a chase checking and chase savings account and receive a cash bonus coupons.
$300 for opening a checking account with direct deposit
$150 for opening a savings account and depositing $10,000 for minimum of 90 days.
The $300 is a no brainier--in fact I went today to open the account (and kindly declined to buy whole life insurance or become a Chase Private Client)
But the $150 is more difficult to decide. A guaranteed 6% APY, vs buying 10k of VTSAX. I just received my year end bonus so I have just enough cash to throw it in there...
WWYD?
