is that all you need to do? Can the account be closed after? ive never done this before, but it seems pretty tempting....

So, basically park $10k for 60 days, make one spend of $375 and download the app for 30k miles? Seems simple enough.

I did the savings account bonus last year, they were fairly easy to deal with. Posted and closed account without much fuss.

+1 I'm a Cit Gold customer and it took me 1 month of constant grueling conversation with individuals on the phone and in the Branch just go open a simple CD account... be prepared for time and your patient to be tested as well as constant confusion.

I'm getting the chkg acct. Sounds like a winner, 30K miles. No maintenance fee either.

i applied for this and will post my experience. so far account approved, waiting for paperwork etc....

There could be fees if the $375 transaction(s) drop the balance below $10,000.

My offer is 50k

Can we get a link? Most times if you call in the higher offer after applying, they will match it.

Came in the mail. No link. Not worth it to me.
