noreply@blogger.com (Dividend Growth Investor) — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:52:00 +0000

Citibank is offering a $100 Checking Bonus for new depositors who open an account with the bank by March 31, 2010. Check offer details below for more information: ( Source: Citibank)

Requirements

-You have to open a Citibank regular checking account with $1000 by March 31, 2010.
- Within the first month after your account is opened, start making at least one direct deposit into your account, or two electronic bill payments from your account, or five non-PIN debit card purchase transactions each month for three consecutive months
- Offer code is C2CA

On a side note, this account could be subject to a monthly fee. To avoid monthly maintenance fees, you need to maintain a $6,000 combined average balance — an easy goal to reach. Why? Because so many accounts go toward it: Checking, Savings, CDs, Money Market, Lines, Loans, Mortgage and Brokerage (to qualify, accounts must be linked to your ATM/Debit Card.) There's no monthly fee if you meet the required balance. Otherwise, the fee is $9.50 for Regular Checking and $12 for Interest Checking (it's $12.50 for Regular Checking and $15 for Interest Checking in CA, NV, FL, IL, DC, VA and MD).

noreply@blogger.com (Dividend Growth Investor) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 21:11:00 +0000

ING Direct, has raised the rate on its year year Certificate of Deposit rate to 2%. While this is a very paltry rate, compared to rates on one year CDs from one year ago ( which were between 4% and 5%), this seems to be the best one year cd rate for now.

Opening Certificates of Deposit at ING Direct is very easy if you use ACH and link your bank account. In addition to that you could either receive monthly disbursements, or have the money compound for you for one year.

Of the nationally available one year CD rates, Ally Bank and Discover Bank both currently offer 1.85%. However both of these banks have higher account opening minimums. In contrast, INg Direct only requires $1 to open a CD.
