I did see deals for $50 and $100 to open one. Am trying to do this but cannot confirm those.
It also looks like the max you can fund from a CC is $2000. Not a huge amount, but not chump change either. You'll have to keep the account open for six months, with a monthly direct deposit to avoid a maintenance fee, to keep the $125 reward.
Still seems like a good deal. I plan to do it as soon as Chase fixes the spelling of my name and contact address which is somehow correct for my CC but wrong for my "primary" master account.
