I am in the same boat as the $30-45. I used a Citi Platium Amex and got 1500 TY points for this transaction. I only live 2 miles from a bank and pass it every day, so I don't see time & gas as significant in any way to me. It took less than 2 minutes inside the bank. I took in $250 each time as to not do it all in one transaction. The first time I deposited it, and had no problem. The second time I asked for bills. She handed me $250 in bills within 1 minute or less. She didn't even verify I had an account with them!
