In Topic: Which allow one to hook up the most ACH sources/destinations?

Paypal allows up to 8 for a personal account and up to 8 for a premier or business account, you can have both at the same time.

In Topic: $75 bonus - Chase : open a checking account ONLINE and set-up a direct d...

10 August 2007 - 11:46 PM

I too received a letter from Chase saying that it couldn't open my account because it didn't receive all of my information during the on line application process. But I double checked my application before clicking submit so I know they received it. But Chase invited me to re-apply. I got a telephone number to call, 1-877-691-8086, Chase sent that too me in a letter, but have not yet called the number. I guess I will call it on Monday just to see what they say. But probably that will turn out of be a waste of time.

How can I create direct deposit, so that I can take advantage of more offers that require direct deposit?

Does setting up a business account work?



Set up a paypal premier account, it's free. Sell some items on ebay and have the customers pay using your premier account. The items could be old books or whatever for a couple of dollars. Just get them sold. Then use the account for direct deposit. Works.

Ok I have an idea. I am not sure if it will work, so I would like to get your input. Right now google is offering free credit card processing until 2008.
I read through the terms of service and just got really confused. Do you think that it might be possible to process your own cash back DEBIT cards through google checlout?

For example ing is offering 1% cash back on all debit card transactions between 6-1 and 8-1 up to 500 dollars. So you would have to spend 50,000 dollars to take full advantage of the offer. So you pay yourself 1000 dollars a day and keep repaying yourself the same 1000 dollars for the next 60 days. and you will have earned 500 dollars.

Any thoughts on the process.



Your wife or some other trusted person sets up an online store that accepts debit & credit cards and the transactions are processed through Google. You then go to the web site and buy $1,000.00 per day. The money is then recycled, i. e. given back to you. Seems to me it should work. But how much would it cost to set up an online store? Maybe not that much.


I thought about that, but from what i read on fatwallet the other person would have to pay taxes on the 50,000 dollars just like it is income.


Wifey buys the merchandise from you and sells it to you for cost. No net. She owes nothing. Seems like it would work.


don't you think that is a little transparent? I am sure the irs would know what you are doing.

now I wish i had majored in bussiness/economics instead of history. If only i had found ibankdesign 5 years ago. suppose i could still give accounting a try but i don't want to be in a class with 20 year olds when i am 27. siiiiii


Since you're not doing anything wrong in the first place it wouldn't matter if they knew about it or not. Just as long as the forms are filled out properly and filed it's legal.
