Here in Houston, I came upon an advertisement on the drive through window claiming 7.1% on a year-term savings account. This was at the WAMU at Bellaire and Bissonnet. According to the teller, the only stipulation is that you can't withdraw the money for a year.



So it is like a fixed term CD.


A CD offering 7.1% APY? Sweet deal! (altho I bet this is a local promotion
and it comes with a lot more restrictions and conditions)


anyone know such deals in SO CA?


Sounds like the "Savings for Success" account posted by MoneyLovesMe on July 30, 2007..

"Cliffnotes: $500 max 12 month 7% CD, but you can add up to $500 a month. This program will go nationwide in September. Illinois and and Texas accounts can already open it via phone. Georgia and Washington too but it pays 6%."


Does a GA account mean opened in GA? I opened my WAMU account when I lived in GA, but I no longer live there anymore but the account is still open and active.


Sounds like a repost on my part then.


7.1% on a CD is not a bad deal at all!

$500 max is very bad !!

Initially, but if you can input an additional 500 every month. . you'll have 6k in by the end


Actually the $500 max restriction kills the deal.
Even if you add $500 every month, it's not worth it.
Might as well stick with a 6% savings account promo offer,
where u can deposit as much as you want. (Or a CD offering 5.25% or so)

7.1% interest is also staggered. You dont get over 7 % from day 1..


this isnt designed for the FWF high rollers and people with $100k AOR money, this is for the average Joe who saves a couple hundred per month from their paycheck. This would work very well for that type of client
