Miles for Banking
I'm considering opening one of the mileage bank accounts from Bankdirect or Guaranty Bank. Can anyone tell me if either of them allow ACH transfers into and out of their accounts (like ING does)? I plan to keep my existing checking account and want to be able to easily move money.

At bankdirect you can originate outgoing ACH but not incoming.

I have had a Bankdirect account for about 6 months, and could not be more pleased. The interest rate on balances above 10K is a quarter point higher than at Guaranty, and miles have posted accurately and very promptly every month.
I have also made a couple of wire (ACH?) transfers in and out, with no hitch at all. In fact I think they've handled these better than my Bank of America in-person banker.
If you decide to open a Bankdirect account and would like a referral, I'd be happy to oblige. I think there's 1,000 miles in it for both referrer and referree.
