Are the miles prorated to 1 per $10 or are they only earned in $1000 increments?
They are 1 per $10 per month.

Do they check your credit when opening an account?

The t&c authorizes BD to verify credit information. Will this count as a hard pull? and if so from which agency?

Bank Direct FAQs say you can fund with a credit card -

1) Does anyone know the limit?
2) Can you use AMEX or just Visa/MC?

TIA

IIRC most card issuers will consider it a cash advance.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it will be a cash advance, but that's okay.

Do you know about limits or if they take amex?

I don't know. But a large cash advance with Amex can trigger an F/R...

You can't get the 10,000 miles for direct deposit, but you can get the other bonuses for using bill-pay and the check card.

there is no point in doing that you'll only wind up with the 2k signup bonus the check card, direct deposit and bill pay bonuses are only after 1 yr. but really if you have money you want to earn tax free interest on this is still your best bet

Their website says, the 5000 bonus miles for check card comes after just 3 months of usage...

Is it not possible to churn these accounts, and get the bonuses again?
