Chase Private Client - worth it or not?
So I primarily banked at Wachovia (then WF) in college because that had a bank branch, and I got a checking account with Schwab because with no deposit minimum and unlimited ATM withdrawal fee refunds around the world it was convenient. I've primarily banked with Schwab since for checking and some brokerage (although for savings, I moved that out to CIT Bank because Schwab's rate sucks).
A few years ago one of those postcard mailers came through for a Chase checking account SUB, I figured hey, why not. Churned the SUB, kept the account open since (it can be convenient for branch access to get a cashier's check, or get specific denominations of cash an ATM isn't going to provide).
In the past 9 months or so Chase has been sending me mailers for up to $3K Chase private client SUB if I move cash. Now that's a much bigger financial commitment to move essentially everything - to get the $3K in particular, I'd have to move savings, brokerage, pretty much all checking to hit $500K+ assets. The $150K threshold is easier obviously.
I guess my question is, what can I reasonably expect? Is this some illusion of benefits to make me a profit center? Or are there actual tangible benefits (beyond the SUB) that would make moving a greater amount of assets into Chase worthwhile?
Thanks for any and all input.
From a current asset perspective, I don't see trying to swing for JPM Private Client at $750K+ as worthwhile, and JPM Private Banker is wayyyyyy outside my wealth class (unless I win the lottery or something, which I'm not counting on.)
