https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Question-about-opening-up-a-chase-account/m-p/693745#M220754 <P>I got a promotion for getting 100 for opening up a chase account and a 3 percent back debit card. Now my question is online when you go to open an account it says you can fund it from another bank or a credit card. If I fund it from a credit card is this seen as like a cash advance or a bad thing to do? My idea was to open one with a rewards car to earn the points and then just PIF but I didnt know if it was a bad idea. Thanks for looking.</P> Tue, 13 Jul 2010 20:38:46 GMT mross1080 2010-07-13T20:38:46Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Question-about-opening-up-a-chase-account/m-p/693745#M220754 <P>I got a promotion for getting 100 for opening up a chase account and a 3 percent back debit card.

I did this recently when I opened a second Chase account online.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:01:52 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Question-about-opening-up-a-chase-account/m-p/693758#M220759 ngerasimatos 2010-07-13T21:01:52Z
