Man, I can be jerk. Every day, I thoughtlessly focus on writing for all those average working stiffs. But what about you independently wealthy people? Who cares about you? Don’t you deserve deals too? Uh…probably not. But here’s a few ideas to help you brainstorm….
- First, is the ol’ BankDirect checking account. Getting miles every month based on your balance seems like a smart idea. And what an impressive balance you have (translation: send me some money). The one issue is that BankDirect is a pain in the ass. Over time, they always seem to get worse. They add fees, then they reduce the miles you earn, and on and on. But there are plenty of loyal BankDirect customers out there. Not sure what the plan is with the merger, but it’s something to look at.
- A much more nerd-friendly company has been Fidelity. With all that cash, you should be earning miles from your investments (American, Delta, or United). These have been known to be very churnable 50,000-mile bonuses. Plus, you have plenty of other rich family members, right?
- Manufactured spending is your friend. With your huge credit limits and all that free time, you could be manufacturing piles of miles every day. Or if it’s not worth the effort, you could always hire someone you trust to do it for you. Stranger things have been known to happen.
These are just some ideas for my rich readers. In the miles/points world, like anywhere else in the world, there is much you can do with liquid cash.
