My experiences with BD have been almost universally excellent. Excellent telephone customer service; far better than many other banks which do NOT advertise themselves as “internet” banks. Miles always post on time, within the first few days of the month, slightly longer when those days include a weekend; unlike many other miles givers who sometimes take months, and many calls and emails, to credit miles. And for those of us who achieved LT AA status with BD miles, BD has earned a bit of loyalty. And yes, for many of us 120,000 miles for no fee, or 240,000 miles for $144, even with the lost opportunity cost, is VERY well worth it.

You are allowed to have two BankDirect accounts. With 120,000 miles for no fee and 240,000 AAdvantage miles for $144, you will end up with 360,000 miles per year for $144.00.
