25000 Continental Airlines miles offer is back

I am pleased to blog that the 25,000 miles offer on Continental Airlines is back from Chase. Now you can get 10,000 Continental Airlines miles when you open a Chase Checking account and and make 5 debit card purchases or set up direct deposit.
And 15,000 additional Continental Airlines miles after the first qualifying purchase is made with your Chase Continental Airlines Preferred Debit Card or Chase Continental Airlines Debit Card. Besides these bonus miles, you can always earn 1 mile/$1 spent in qualifying purchases with the Chase Continental Airlines Preferred Debit Card for a $65 annual fee per checking account, or 1 mile/$2 spent in qualifying purchases with the Chase Continental Airlines Debit Card, for a $25 annual fee per checking account.
The other advantage of this offer is that you can check your first bag without ever paying a fee (a $30 round trip savings).
The catch is that there is a limit one personal checking account-related reward per customer, per calendar year. So maybe we can open another checking account for a bonus next year? Be careful however and read the terms and conditions to understand what else you must do to get the miles like the direct deposit catch. There is a similar offer for a business checking account, but it requires purchase of the $65/year Chase Continental Airlines Business Debit Card. Please note that this offer valid through September 30, 2010. Be sure you understand the early closing fee and how to avoid monthly fees for your checking account associated with these cards.
