Direct deposit question for Chase checking bonus

Received a blue advertisement from Chase for the bank account bonus and went ahead, tried creating an account so it's set up just missing direct deposit but is it possible to do ACH transfer from a different bank account I control to the Chase account to fulfill that requirement? According to Chase, "Direct deposits can be an
ACH credit, payroll, pension or government benefits such as Social Security" so would me sending money from another bank account to my chase account qualify as an "ACH credit"?

When I opened my Chase checking, I sent ACH transfer from my external bank and also trial deposits from PayPal.  Both coded as ACH payments (less than $10 total).  The Tuesday after my ACH payments posted my bonus was in my new account in less than 10 days. YMMV.


Instead of waiting for the storm to pass, I've learned to dance in the rain.
