When I took advantage of the UA offer, I had to keep the account open for 6 months; I didn't want to find out the consequence. Instead of leaving $1K balance, I withdrew half of it til I closed the account. I'm not sure whether E*Trade is requiring $1K min balance to be maintained or not.

FYI, http://www.valueconsumer.com/CreditCards/Finance.htm lists 12 E*Trade offers.
