I couldn't find anything about "minimum funding" (I might call to ask). In Fidelity, I can withdraw the money (not even a minimum funding) at any time.
I'm also interested in what kthan is asking for -- are the "minimum funding" (required to get the point at all) and the "initial funding" (setting how many SPG points you might get after 9 months) one and the same? In other words, do I really have to keep $25K in there if I want to get 20K SPG points, or can I get by with less $$ "locked" for 9 months? Thanks!
