I am with Dreyfus and indeed they allow spreads on options, however, the short side has to be phoned in to their broker (as opposed to their internet site) at a higher commission rate. I have heard that with a little whining, you can convince them to give you the internet rate, but I have actually never done an option spread, so I am not sure.

Their margin requirement for naked puts however is a little ridiculous, from what I understand, they require $20000 plus the exercise value of the put.
