My point was that cashing the check and depositing into a CD would take no time at all - probably 15 minutes or less - but even at 2 hours it's over $100 an hour.

I think people are dramatically underestimating the fee that will accompany the check. I wouls assume it is treated as a cash advance which is probably hit with a percentage fee of 3%. Immediately eating up any interest gains. Maybe you get to net zero if you get rewards for it. But usually cash advances are excluded.

Bet you $200 it does not work out that way.
