How soon could I close the account? Can I do the express application if I am not a current checking account customer and just want this savings account?

The NEA and AAA money market accounts also let you fund with a credit card but I wasn't gutsy enough for fear it would be treated as a cash advance. A person in that thread said they funded $500 and it showed up as a normal charge on their CC.
I opened my savings account a week ago with the $35 promo. You need to maintain a minimum balance of $300 or a directly deposit monthly from checking for $25 to avoid fees.
I took the risk and funded $1000 on a CC. If it goes through as a cash advance, worst case I'll stil end up ~$20 ahead after the 3% fee ($50-$30). I'll just watch the transaction to be sure it shows up as a purchase.
Raiz said:Xeon, could you please list the type of card you have. It may be relevant. I put it on a Citibank AAdvantage card, as there have been posts that Citi has processed it as a purchase. Plus its my primary card other than an AMEX these days - and no AMEX funding option.
