$2.02 interest!

July 13th, 2008 at 12:43 pm

I opened up a new personal checking account on July 2nd. I never keep a lot of money in my personal checking account because it has never paid any interest.
But, this new account does pay interest, to the tune of 3.1% So, 10 days after I opened the account, the bank paid me $2.02 in interest. Hey, that is $2.02 more than I had!!
I am excited that now my business checking is paying 3.1% interest too. It use to pay me .005% I am going to write myself a check each month and take the interest out and add to my challenge.
Before now, the business account only paid me a few dollars a month. so far, I am up to $72 in interest for the month.
I went to the grocery store yesterday and saved $2 using coupons, so I will add that to my $20 challenge.
Prev. total $18,182.00
today 2.00
new total $18,184.00

    3.1% is great. What bank offers this, it would be great to get a return on your money!!!

    I wonder why your business checking went so high all the sudden. Was that one of your famous, "give me more options or I take all my money and walk" things?

    No, helpme, it is just a promo that they are offering and it is guaranteed for one year! So, I switched over all my accounts there from money market to checking.
