Check out www.bankdirect.com for one option to earn AA miles with a checking account.
Steve, Thanks for the heads up on the bank. It looks like there is no limit on miles in the checking account? The low interest on ING these days makes it tempting to move $100K in business savings over for the miles which I could then convert over to Hilton Points. BTW from the other threads, do they take deposits via credit card or only linked transfers? Need a referral bonus?
