So I'd been sitting on $650 still of 2011 pennies after selling some on ebay and slowly mixing them in with my dumps each time.

I decided to go to Chase the other day and open an account, as I closed mine about a year ago because I hate Chase.

After doing the paper work they said how much would you like for your initial deposit, I said $650. I said it was in my car and I had to go get it, so I did.

They didn't seem too eager about it when they saw it, but I don't remember them allowing me to do this when I was a regular customer. Finally got rid of the damn zincs.

Ha! Good way to get rid of them.

Outstanding

Did you get them to kick you $125 or $175 for opening a new account?

They gave me 30 days to find the coupon for the $150 deal. Also had to direct deposit my payroll check.

Go to your local post office and ask for a change of address packet. That's where I found mine. If you can't find one, I'll mail one to you.

Ha! I just opened a chase account, and they sell me all the coin I want. They also let borrow some nickels trays to carry some coins home.

So far we are good, but I have not tryed to dump there yet.

yea they gave me $125 also for direct deposit as long as the account stays open for 6 months, and they said that they're fine with picking up 2-4 boxes a week (I didn't ask for more yet), so we'll see. figured I wouldn't start off at 24 a week this time because that's why BofA stopped me. Lasted 2 months though.

That's funny. My Chase won't order me a single box, but I can bring them hundreds in zinc several times a week and the only thing they ask is I come in an hour before they close.

I don't think my Chase will order for me either.. at least not very much. But 2 of the branches give me all the CWR they take in.. which is a pretty good load.

If I had $650 worth of 2011 zincs I'd make a road trip to deposit them and get them as far away from my home town as possible. I wouldn't want to get them back!

I'm not a big fan of Chase either but you can't really blame them for not being thrilled about your initial deposit being $650 in pennies lol. They obviously know your just openning the account to either get pennies from them or use them as a dump bank. Banks know down to a penny who they are making money off of and who's costing them money and your not going to be profitable for them. Nothing wrong with it do your thing but you do have to see their side.
