There's no need for such contortions to deposit money orders. There are plenty of local banks where you can open fee-free or near-fee-free accounts. Pick two, open accounts, and deposit all your money orders in one of them. If that account gets closed, start using the other and open an account at a third bank. There's virtually no risk and no need for agonizing over this.

Don't chance screwing up a relationship with a major bank like Chase or Citi or BofA. Pick credit unions, local banks--banks that offer you nothing special in the way of features or credit so you have nothing to lose if the account gets closed and the relationship ends. Who knows--you could go on for years with nothing happening.
You might get reported to Chexsystems for suspicious deposits and be unable to open an account anywhere else.

Just something to think about.
