I say none. I have $10 in my DCU account since opening, been open for 8 months or so. Just got a $5k Visa at 8.5% and offered a refi at 2.49%. If your credit is shaky having a fat savings account can certainly help since cross-collatorilazation can come into play but I really don't think it'll make much of a difference at all.
