My friend wants me to get a card so that she gets extra miles for my joining - I know that I must put $2000.00 on the card within 3 months and that the cost is $69.00 a year but I would get free flights for joining. What I need to know is if the $2000.00 can be a credit card transfer as I have a MasterCard I want to pay off and close out. Thank you for your help.
