			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>My college-graduate son is looking to start investing for the future and wants to open a brokerage account with about $30,000–$40,000 to invest.<br />
Are there currently any good bonus offers available from Fidelity or other brokerage firms? Cash bonuses, airline miles, hotel points, or other promotions would all be of interest.<br />
Sorry, I've been out of the game for a few years and seem to have missed all the fun. Looking to get caught up on what's available these days.<br />
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><a href="https://imgur.com/a/vFv621u" target="_blank">Capital One Business checking vendor payment screen.</a><br />
Let me preface this by writing that this is theory and not something I tried myself.<br />
The Capital One Business checking account has an integrated vendor payment system, powered my by Melio, that allows you to &quot;Pay by card&quot; for a 2.9% fee. You just use yourself as a &quot;vendor&quot;.<br />
Will it work for Visa gift cards? I don't know. Must likely it will not but it is food for thought.<br />
<br />
<br />
This has other use cases though. Use if your desperate to complete a sign bonus on a new credit card. Getting cash advance at 2.9% fee, with grace period, and purchase interest rate.<br />
