Miles for Opening a Online Savings?
Does anyone know if you can get Miles or points for opening a medium-large Online Savings Account? Any suggestions. I would be delighted to get some benefit from the new account! Let me know any suggestions

Hi! Welcome to Flyertalk.
I think there is some more info in SPAM, but I'll give you what I know here. There are two banks that I know of, BankDirect and Guaranty Bank, that both give you miles for deposits. The rate of accumulation is the same. You earn 1 mile for every $10 per month. In other words, if you put $10,000 into the account, you would earn 1,000 miles per month. I have an account with BankDirect and we have been very happy with them. The downside is that the interest rate is quite low.
If you PM me, I would be happy to refer you. I think that we both get bonus miles that way!

Miles for Banking
Welcome to FT! You are shooting a question that has been "hot" in FT community for years!
New Netbank costomers can earn up to 9K UAL miles.
Or you may read on more from the thread, Miles for Banking.
