Miles for IRA acct? [2000 - 2011]
 
Hi all,

I am going to open a Roth IRA this month, anyone know of a broker/bank offering miles for new accts?

Thanks!

I believe that IRA accounts, by law, cannot have any "bennies" like FF miles attached to them. I have never a single instance where FF miles have been available for opening an IRA.

Can you fund it with a mileage earning VISA??

(Just wondering)

By IRS regulations IRA's can only be funded with cash. You cannot even transfer stock into them so I would not know of a way of funding an IRA with a credit card without using a cash advance.

Does anyone give miles for opening an IRA?

Thanks!

I am not certain but I do not believe incentives can be given out for retirement accouts by federal law.

Investment Miles for IRA?
 
I find myself in the position of needing to roll over a retirement account into an IRA, are there any brokerages that offer incentive miles/pts for retirement account deposits?

My prior searches indicated not for IRA

No. Could disqualify account.

unlike the previous poster...who never seems to be able to just answer a question...i will answer your question without having you do further searching.

No, you cannot get any miles anywhere for opening an IRA account. IRS does not allow this.

FYI. I had done the search and it returned me hundreds of links which was cumbersome to follow.
