went to the local chase branch today and opened a personal account..at first the rep only knew of the 2,500 mile offer until i showed him the 21,000 offer...got denied on the business account as he really wanted to see a viable business with direct deposits etc so i didnt push it...


in terms of funding options when i asked if i could use a cc they said yes but it would be as a cash advance...no thanks
and to avoid the requirements for the 5 transactions a month i opened a checking account for 1500 which i will keep parked in there until i cancel the accounts when the next annual fee is due
