How To Close A Discover Cashback Checking Account?

I drained my account down to a $0 balance and sent a secure message to their Customer Support asking how to close my checking account and I got the following reply:

 

"At this time, we show that this account is at a $0 balance and we are unable to close it for you manually, which we do apologize about. Although, once this account has had a $0 balance for 365 days or more, it will then close out automatically and there are no fees to close this account."

 

So I have to keep it at a $0 balance for an entire year and wait for it to close out?  This is the 1st time I've ever encountered this with a checking account...and I've run through plenty of them (for the bonuses).

Transfer one cent in, then ask for account to be closed and balance sent to you in the form of a check? I'm sure they will like that.
