I see that difference is Starpoints Vs AA miles and 2,500 more starpoints. Is that enough to open a new bank account?? If we can take out money before 9 months the it will be certainly a great deal. Any flaws in my understanding?? Is there any other way to make this deal sweeter?
With the money at TD Ameritrade you can earn a return on your money also. Even if you are extremely risk averse you can at least put the money into a money market fund.
