Will I receive form 1099-int from banks?

I don't know whether the signup bonus should be subject to taxation or not, so I'd like to know what you think of this.

I never got one for a credit card bonus but did get one last year for a chase checking account $150 bonus. Maybe because it was paid out in cash and not points or statement credits?

OK, thanks everybody. Then I will just go ahead and file my returns without waiting for 1099.

The bonuses are considered a rebate as purchases must be made. Checking account bonuses are income as no purchase is made.
