How Chime notifies winners
Current Chime members: Your cash prize will be deposited directly into your Chime Checking Account within 10 business days of the winners are drawn. You do not need to take any additional action.
Non-members: The Chime Social team will reach out by direct message (DM) from the verified @Chime account on social media. You will have 24 hours to respond. To claim a cash prize, you will need to open a Chime account.
Non-cash prizes: If you win a non-cash prize, Chime will send you an email with instructions. You may need to respond to that email to claim your prize.
How to spot a scam
Chime will never ask you to pay a fee or provide sensitive information, such as your account number, password, or Social Security to deliver a prize. Any message asking for payment, account details, passwords, or other personal information to claim a prize is likely fraudulent.
Always check that any social media message claiming to be from Chime comes from the official @Chime account with a verified checkmark. Scam accounts often use similar names or handles that look like the real thing.
