2nd dip not allowed--

Hubby opened acct in March, deposited 25K on 3/23, another 25K on 3/27, another 25K on 3/31 and last 25K on April 4th. Received his first set of 15K UA miles first week in April (for the 3/23 deposit) and received the remaining 35K UA miles April 22. Total: 50K UA miles, took almost a month to post them all.

Then hubby went in and opened a second account (this time for DL), existing Fido customers. Deposited a "fresh" $15K from an outside account on April 23. Things went very smoothly, no nasty emails. Having no more disposable income, hubby then withdrew 20K from his account, with the intent to churn it. EFT'd it to his local bank. A few days later he EFT'd $17K back to Fido. Today he got the nasty email saying he's ineligible for the DL promo.

It appears if you are putting fresh, unchurned $$ into an existing Fido account--meaning, you have an additional (new) 100K to work with, from an outside source--you are eligible for the 2nd/DL bonus...or at least, Fido doesn't care, they'll take that second $100K deposit. But churners, watch out!
