miles for brokerage/bank accounts
 

are there any good promotions currently out there that give miles for opening brokerage or bank accounts?

does anyone have a link that would summarize these offers?

thanks!

Bankdirect.com still has a deal for AA points.

10,000 MR points if you open an AMEX brokerage account.

There are some websites that have consolidated information. You can find their URLs by searching the FlyerTalk database.

I recently received a promotion letter from Ameritrade for UA miles.

E-trade offers sign up bonuses of 25000 miles ($50000 deposit), 10000 ($10000), and 5000 ($1000). They also offer 5000 miles for everyone you refer to them.

The miles can be earned on Delta, United, or Northwest.

15k CO OnePass miles for $5k deposit at CSFBdirect.

You can now get 10k AA miles for opening a Citibank checking account and getting the Citi AAdvantage Debit card.

Check this guy's site too--he lists those plus a few more and has them organized fairly well.

Also, E*Trade offers Marriott points, which can be used towards their miles+nights awards.

From ETRADE's website, its sounds like they are fine with you opening 5 accounts in the same name with say $10,000 in order to get 50,000 miles instead of 1 account with $50,000 to get 25,000 points. Any thoughts on this strategy?

Also, be warned that the fine print excludes non-taxable accounts like IRA's and ETRADE levies a quarterly service charge if you are below $5000.

E-Trade also has:

1) A $50 fee to close an account.
2) Very high margin interest rates compared to say TD Waterhouse.
3) Very low credit interest rates, and is very slow to credit deposits to your account.

Redhead - where is this "10k AA miles for opening a Citibank checking account and getting the Citi AAdvantage Debit card"?

The only thing I see on Citi's page is 4K for the debit card.

Link please?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif thanks!

E* trade also refused to credit 25,000 miles to my account and lost my business forever. Hopefully your business as well.

What happened, why didn't they give you the 25K?
