I received an offer by email from Chase about a month and a half ago stating if I open a checking account and have a direct deposit go in for over $100, Chase will put in $125 into my account.

I contacted STRS (which is where I get money from each month). They said it could take up to 60 days to put my automatic deposit into a new checking account.

That was past my cut off date, so I walked into CHASE and asked what to do if they don't get my automatic deposit in time (Aug 2nd cut off). The person at the branch asked if I had a Paypal account and told me I only needed move over $100 from Paypal to my checking account. I called Chase's 800 number and they said it would work as well.

I did that on July 12th, called the 800 number for CHASE earlier this week and was told it could take "up to 17 days for the $125 for the offer to show up in my accont."

It still didn't show so I called today... I was told that Paypal didn't count, it must be an employer or govenment check.

UGH! WHat do I do? I was told by THREE people (one in person, two over the phone) that PAYPAL was fine.
The branch doesn't want to take responsibily and nobody seems to want to help me.
