They can do anything, except close the account,(or ask for retention), IME.
Yes, in some regard. Can add au's, make payments, change information on the account. They basically don't need the actual primary person on the line like they usually would for a lot. For f/r purposes I don't know if that holds up.

Thanks

Elaborating the problem and why:
To banks & loaning institutions cash means money laundering. If they have any suspicions of any sort, they will say that they have the right without any proof whatsoever to close you down. Whether it be a checking, savings or credit card account - whether it be personal or business. They don't need proof. All they need is a transaction which will give them an excuse to say that there is a suspicion and thereby foreclose the account/s .
Does this happen rarely ?- I think so. However it could and does happen to people who are innocent as well.

so i guess this can only happen if u do that with large numbers of cash, like paying huge cc balances with thousands of dollars, a few hundred $ a month to pay your cc bill can be a problem? I dont think they will consider it as money laundering CMIIW

True. Though , those products are "specifically" for that purpose. They are supposed to be used that way.

The part I don't understand about that is a business account. Any store owner has lots of cash coming in daily. Why does that look suspicious ? What else are they supposed to do with it ?

Chase's cash curbs have been on mortgages, auto loans, credit cards etc.  Primarily consumer products, not business products.  Completely negating your statement.

Chase hates cash.  They want to charge you negative interests on your deposits.  Cash makes this more difficult.

The part I don't understand about that is a business account. Any store owner has lots of cash coming in daily. Why does that look suspicious ? What else are they supposed to do with it ?
Business accounts are not necessarily as big of concern as personal. However if a business is ONLY bringing in cash (which happened to a relative of mine) with chase , it can be just as worrisome.
I thought this was only an issue for personal accounts
Not ONLY an issue for personal, but as acc to pillansyme it seems to be so. I have heard concerns for biz as well though.
He seems to say otherwise.
The original statement and concern is not mine. I have written before THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WHICH WORRIES ME. PillanSmye holds there is a concern. I understood where he came from being that I have heard stories before first hand from people i know and was explaining his point.

If someone would to ask me I would tell them not to worry. I personally have deposited thousands in cash to my personal account in chase many times without ever having issue BH . - in terms of business ; (as I wrote before) I have been told from the person it happened to that he was shut down for suspicion of ML because he always deposited cash - never did money come to his biz accnt through merchant processing accounts or checks. Purely cash.
So go ahead a deposit cash as much as you want . PillanSmye says otherwise.

The teller refused to take a cash deposit yesterday because I didn't have a photo ID with me. She was happy to take checks though. I'll have to start using the ATM's more often.

i understand. to clarify my question, dan mentioned he buys vanilla gift cards at 7/11 during chase freedom bonus quarter for 5 ppd. visa gift cards at staples also give you 5 ppd on ink so im wondering if theres some upside to buying valinna at 7/11. or maybe he maxed the $50k on office supplies a year per ink?

$500 cards give more bang for your buck than $200.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
