I signed up through Gomez and received the miles and the $50, although Gomez or Bank Direct somehow "lost" my initial sign-up. Gomez had no problem finding it and the $$ were credited. I also signed up for the 5000 mile direct deposit bonus.

The interest rates on the mileage accounts are terrible, so every two weeks after my pay is deposited I move all the money into my primary account (interest earning of course). This is done electronically so the money never sits at Bank Direct for more than a few days.
