Now that Netbank is offering United (www.netbank.com/united) and Delta (www.netbank.com/delta) miles for online banking, does anyone have any comments on Netbank? Or comments on other online banks and whether those compare favorably?
The online thread I've found on Netbank is

That was when they were only giving Priority Club points.
Basically, I'm looking for an online checking account with ATM access. Netbank appears to waive ATM surcharges but most ATMs themselves will charge a surcharge.. so most ATM withdrawals look like they'll cost ~ $2.
They have free online bill pay but they charge if you DON'T use it. (weird)
The first check order is free.
Up to 4500 miles for opening the checking account, 2500 miles for a money market.
So.. 4500 miles isn't alot if I'm giving up something. But I want to move my checking account anyway, so I just need to decide where to move it.
I'd sign up right now if there were ongoing incentives -- but the only incentive appears to be for OPENING the account, not for keeping it open or for keeping balances.
Thoughts?
