What banks will let you use a credit card for the opening deposit when you open a savings account?
Jun 2
I want to open a savings account for about $700 and charge the opening deposit to a credit card. The credit card gets points, which would be good for a gift card if I had about 700 more. I want to close the credit card account, but only after I get enough points, to not waste the points I already have. I’m going to open a savings account anyway, so I figure I might as well get those 700 points from it. In any case, the savings account should pay high interest and should allow transactions between banks online.
For example, Bank of America will let you open a checking account online, and use a credit card to fund it. The credit card transaction will be a purchase, not a cash advance. But I want to know what other banks will do that, and which of them will do it for savings accounts.

For a credit card.
Oooohh. I don’t think i’d ever be doing that. I just want to have it so I can establish credit. All my money goes into my checking and I will pay off the credit card.
