I need a BankDirect referral" thread
NOTE: This thread is for referral requests only, not offers.
Bask BankNOTE: This thread is for referral requests only, not offers.
Bask has a referral program where the new account holder and the referrer each get 5,000 miles. The referrer can earn 25,000 maximum via referrals. Existing account holders can provide a referral link.
Archived Bank Direct offer below, no longer valid:
Bank Direct offers American Airline miles for an online bank account. Miles are available for an online Checking account ($12 per month) or a Money Market account (no monthly fee).
The "Refer A Friend" program allows existing AA earning account holders to refer somebody. Both the existing AND the new customer get an extra 1000 miles for the referral. The existing account holder must log in, choose "manage my account", then "refer a friend".
All that is needed for this referral is the new customers email address. Addresses may only be referred once, so if you sent an email to someone ages ago and they never opened an account, you cannot send another referral to that friend's same email address.
Here is the referral screen that the existing account holder will see:
BankDirect® has an exciting Refer-A-Friend program, and your friend wants you to be a part of it.

And your friend receives 1,000 AAdvantage® miles, too. It's that simple!

- Earn 1,000 miles for being referred
- Earn 10,000 miles for direct deposit
- Earn 5,000 miles for using bill pay
- Earn 5,000 miles for using your BankDirect Visa CheckCard
- Earn 100 miles per month for every $1k average daily balance up to $50k (above $50k earn 25 per $1k).
That's at least 21,000 miles!
- Another nice feature is you get 4 reimbursed ATM fees up to $2.50 each.
- Miles post around the 3rd or 4th of each month. Bonus miles post the month after you meet the terms (for me at least).
- Note that the direct deposit must be $2000 per month for 6 months to earn the bonus.
- If you want to keep your account active without thinking about it, set up a recurring payment of $1 to some credit card.

quick tatal newbie question: how does one decide if the lost potential interest is worth the miles? say a person deposits 10k into this bank and gets 100*10*12 miles in return = 12k miles. same deposit in some other bank paying around 1.5% (top rate on bankrate.com) = $150. so is 12k miles really worth $150? another twist - the $150 is taxable, miles arent

Welcome to FlyerTalk!
There's been some discussion of the value of miles versus cash in bank accounts:

Some of the bonuses include:
* 1000 miles for opening the account
* 1000 for being referred
* 5000 for direct deposit
* 2000 for using bill pay for 12 months.
That's 9000 bonus miles alone.
Plus each month, earn 100 miles per $1000 balance.
I, and others here, can give you a referral. Just send your name and email address via PM.

You've got PM, but cross your fingers for getting an award ticket for a specific flight, let alone a specific week.
