Chase closed all my accounts. 1 business, 1 checking and 2 saving accounts. I have been depositing MO for almost 2 yrs. I opened new saving account recently for 175 bonus, I think that triggered closure. I talked with people at branch and CSR, they don't know reason. Decision is final and I can't open any accounts. I have CC with them and they said it will not be affected. I have 500k UR, What is best way to cash out?

150K -> Hyatt (7 nights @ Class 5, 6 nights @ Class 6, 5 nights @ Class 7)
100K -> BA (4x RT West Coast > Hawaii)
250K -> UA (2x RT business awards)
But that's just me and what's important to me. $5K cash would be cool. If you don't have upcoming travel plans, it's probably best to just diversify.

Some UA partners are very hard to redeem in C/F. Some won't release space until T-14. Look at how difficult it will be to redeem before you send one mile to UA.
250k to United is too much unless you book right away.

200k a year in deposits into a checking account may still be too much.
More checking accounts is the answer.
Combine the checking account with a savings account and you'll have more deposit opportunities. Make a checking account deposit at one branch and a savings account deposit at another branch.

Thanks Roki and Jmw. Which airline is better to book ticket to India. I don't have UA account, to get account do I need to open CC?

I'm afraid to deposit more than a couple MO a week, in the brach, with a teller I know....cause there is someone in back that is going to eventually think that depositing hundreds of MO's isn't normal behavior. (2 per week is over 100 a year...which probably .001% of the population does.)
What is the most that anyone gets away with in perpetuity?

Deposit MO into Chase = looking for trouble. I do most of the MO into my local banks where I could care less if shutdown. Learned my lesson from US Bank
