Funding Credit Union new account with Credit Card
« on: March 11, 2013, 07:21:45 AM »
Gary has a post about funding new bank accounts with a credit card, for up to $10, 000.
The particular credit union that he refers to requires the applicant "to accept the statement that you’re a Catholic to open the account".
I am not about to sell my soul for a bunch of miles, and not suggesting that anyone else here should either - HelpMe excepted.
[In fact, it is clearly paskened in Y.D. that one may not misstate his religion purely to avoid the Jew-tax of the olden times; this case would be no different.]
However, Gary does strongly imply that there are other similar offers out there, but he is not sharing them, because: "I don’t generally write about small credit unions that allow funding via credit card because those small banks will notice the increased volume, it’s a real cost to them, and I genuinely expect exposure of the opportunity to lead to a change in policy pretty quickly."
Does anyone know which banks he is referring too?
Just curious, ya know!  ;)

Hello all,

This thread is already getting big on FT. You can go to the below and open a new bank account and fund with Chase card for up to 10k-

*** You need to check the box stating that you are catholic so if thats ethically questionable to you don't sign up. I just feel like this needs to be shared

This would be a good one for the ethics thread.

To think what some our our ancestors went through just to avoid  saying that they were catholic...

I think it would be rather curious to see the  managers reaction there when they start seeing names like Goldberg, Cohen, and Friedman on their client lists.

Look at any parish directory of a Catholic church and you will see Jewish names.

These things stay under the radar, b/c once publicized, they often close quickly.

Ironic isn't it?  I never heard a marketing director say "let's keep this one under the radar.  If it gets too publicized we're gonna have to shut er down"
If you don't care why would you comment?
