Man, I just want to smack myself....
So, just a few personal experiences on some stuff posted in the thread. I applied about a month ago. YMMV, but I figure the more anecdotal experience the better.

1) I funded with my Chase Mileage Plus card for $500. It posted as a credit card charge and I just got my 22.5 bonus miles. So, at least for me, it was considered new cash by Chase and I got United miles.

2) I did not open the account with my name precisely as it appears on my OnePass account. There was no opportunity for entering my OP number online during the account opening process. Chase opened a second OP account for me. I was ultimately able to get Continental to merge them, but it took a while.
