A couple people mentioned that they were able to successfully acquire the 25k miles for a minor's account, so I wanted to solicit some suggestions.

I've had no problems setting up accounts and getting mileage for my wife and I. However, when I attempted to set up a checking account for my daughter (she's 1), I ran into issues. The banker spent about 10 minutes on the phone with corporate to find out what kind of checking account could be opened for a minor. Once she finally set up the account, it wouldn't let her add a debit card. After some more more digging, she told me that the only minor checking accounts that could get a debit card were the High School checking accounts (ages 13-17, and they aren't eligible for the Continental offer).

So, for those of you that have done this, what kind of checking account did you set up for your minor child? All help is most appreciated!
