I'm wondering if they want proof of belonging to a qualifying organization or if saying you are a PTA member is sufficientMy mom joined at a branch. My dad and I, who were both members already, were with her, which would have qualified her for membership, but they actually said that they would make a donation to the PTA on her behalf to qualify her for membership. So you may not even need to say that you are a PTA member - they might take care of it for you!

Can those who are teetotalers participate by drinking a shot of a non-alcoholic beverage? I don't think we should leave people out because of their drinking preferences. And I think it needs to be limited only to when craig10x mentions Delta.

something tells me that there is going to be a lot of intoxicated people on this thread

My acct is now open and everything is good and after talking to 3 reps no one ever asked me whether i was a member of a qualifying org.(I am not btw). The question was not even on the online acct opening forms.

You may take a drink of orange juice whenever That-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named is mentioned.

Whenever someone mentions That-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named twice in one post you have to go outside and walk around the block.

How did you enjoy your walk? Quotes count.

Yeah... no. I need another bank/CU deposit account like I need a hole in the head.

I'm really thinking we should just give Delta Community CU their own thread...

oops...a red....looks like someone doesn't have a sense of humor here

actually, i WOULD start a separate thread...but with the majority of fw'ers being "rate-centric" i think that despite the nice features for general banking that they offer at Delta...i believe the thread would unfortunately, die out very quickly.....which is why i didn't.....

yes mapen....that is the way the do it (and then display an image of the bill pay check).....the only other bank i had that with was Bank of America....and i don't think they display the actual cashed bill pay check....

Delta had just dropped the money market account rate by .25% at the beginning of the month...however, even though Alliant has maintained the 2% for a number of months now...one does wonder if it will be maintained at the end of this month...

Delta does often give back..at the end of the year, with some extra Cash Back (about 4.5% of the total dividend you got for the year...it doesn't even out with Alliant but does boost them up somewhat closer...but it is not guaranteed of course...still they have done it the last 3 years, i understand...

Yes...you're right...unless it has top rates, it just won't generate much interest on fw....so i won't bring it up anymore here...nor will i start a thread for it on it's own...

Which brings an interesting thought to mind...if Alliant drops the savings rate to 1.75% apy at the end of the month...would a lot of people here move away from them?

I made a thread for Delta CU so that we can get this thread back on topic for discussion of Alliant. Delta Community CU Thread. Perhaps the thread will wither away and die from lack of discussion - but there will at least be a dedicated thread for Delta CU discussion instead of taking up space in the Alliant thread.
