最近在论坛里看到好多家人们说开卡不好刷,也看到很多人MDD了Chase,撸了Citi的Premier和AA Platinum,还有chase/citi/boa/usb的biz card,但是普遍觉得很难刷开卡,认为没那么多bill交,没那么多grocrey和dining刷。没事,咱不用BG,也不用MS,有个最简单的办法就是开能CC funding的银行或credit union的账户,很多时候他们也都有checking/saving offer,那就正好一鱼二吃了。
鉴于DOC上虽然有Bank Accounts that can be funded with a credit card,但是上面DP都太老了,很多都失效了。笔者通过自己开户的经验并阅读大量DOC帖子里中的DP,把2023年以来比较新的DP放下面供大家参考,基本都是nationwide可以开户。比较可惜的amex能cc fund的太少了,我仅知道的一家amex friendly的也死了,其他的都是high state specific我也开不了户。
1、 Affinity Federal Credit Union [Up to $1,000 with Visa, Mastercard or Discover]
点评:可以Nationwide. You have the option to join by making a one-time $5 donation to the New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education or the Connecticut Jump$tart Coalition。可以顺便做一下开户奖励(现在是referral bonus $100)
我的DP:P1用的CSP,P2用的BOA123有5.25%cashback
2/25/2024更新:似乎affinity也不能cc fund了。
2、Fairwinds Credit Union [Up to $500 via credit card]
点评:可以Nationwide. 暂无开户奖励,不一定会有referral bonus $100. CC fund记得通过paypal (可以使用amex)
我的DP:P1用的CFU,P2用的Discover
3、US Alliance Financial [Up to $5000 via Mastercard]
点评:可以nationwide. You can pick out of four different organizations to qualify for membership。这里的CC fund需要在开户后打电话给客户说要use card funding然后把卡号啥的报给客户。之前的开户$250 offer过期了
我的DP:P1用的SOFI Credit Card,P2用的Citi AA,均5000拉满
1/27/2024更新:下面有DP表示客服说今年开始不接受cc fund了
4、Securityplus up to [$2000 via discover, visa, mastercard]

我的DP:P1用的SOFI Credit Card,P2用的Citi Premier,均2500拉满
2/22/2024 更新:下面有DP表示目前只有500CC fund,上个月出现了15000 cc fund,但只持续了一个月,这种死得快。

我的DP:P1用的BOA Biz Cash Rewards,P2用的CSP,均4000拉满
怎么样,共计可以cc funding 15000了,普通开卡4-5张够了吧。如果是P1/P2模式,那就是10张开卡搞定。也欢迎其他人补充新的bank/CU

我的DP:无限fund的时候撸了一些,能amex的CU真的太少,还没开户的可以给撸了,5000额度能cc fund amex的CU仍然是目前市场上的清流。
4/22/2024更新:UCU的cc fund活了,可以amex,且撸且珍惜吧,总额还是5000
