[randomlinh]

here's my question.. how bad is it to have many checking accounts?

NOTE: You must reference Gomez on the FIBI application to receive your Cash Bonus!

I went for it!?!

I mean, $75 is a good ROI for only 3 months and a hundred bucks.

Did a print-screen of the offer. I'll just let the money sit there for the three months they require. Money Market Savings BABY!

I'll let ya know what sort of interest their gonna be paying.

<edit>Hell, come to think of it, my wife could use a savings account</edit>

 

[randomlinh]

interest?? These low opening accounts have interest?? heh, I've opened up two checking accounts, both are no interest. Would do this to.. but like i said before, any harm in having one too many checkings? when do they start gettin worried at wtf you're doing

 

[IBhacknU]

The options for accounts were as follows:

Interest Checking
Money Market Savings
Regular Savings
3,6,12,18,24,36, or 60 month CD

Call it old fashion, but me thinks 'interest checking' pays interest. Probably a percent or two.... and as for the Money Market Savings, it 'should' return around 5%.

Either way, I'm in it for the $75.00

If the interest is above 5%, I'll probably use the account to sock away cash for my upcoming construction project.

ANYONE KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FIND A HOT DEAL ON LUMBER AND HOUSE BUILDING STUFF?

The savings accounts have maintenance fees. Opening a checking account sounds good though.

Inguyen--I can't see what harm it would do to have many checking accounts. It's not like cc's where having too many can hurt you (these can be looked on as having access to too much credit line, even if you aren't using them). But, checking accounts, not from my experience. Only problem is keeping track of them. Ya got too much money.

[randomlinh]

yeah, right.. me? money? hehe.

I didn't realize it was an interest checking account, didn't follow the link Ah well, why the hell not Hrmm.. but that means I'll have $250 sitting for three months i can't touch (three checking accounts)

 

[IBhacknU]

Doodo:

where did you see it mentioned the savings accounts have maintanence fees?

<edit>nevermind... found it!</edit>

$4.95 / month for Money Market Savings @ 6.06% APY (currently)

and

$5.00 quarterly fee for Regular Savings @ 3.14% APY (currently)

As Doodoo mentions, the Interest Checking has no fee, and currently pays 5.0% APY

Did anyone received their $100 with the USABancShares deal? Mine still say pending. I signed up abou 3 months ago already, but still no sign of da money!

 

[ydy]

I opened accounts in First internet bank and USABancSHare in March. and have got $75 and $100.

 

[kwg]

sworshs,

I had to email Gomez about the USAB offer after the 90 day mark. It took them -2- weeks to get it added into my account....so contact them at 85 days at least!

I plan to do more but I've read about the 2 offer limit. The last I saw, this was no longer in effect. Guess it's time to bug'em again and get some info.

 

[IBhacknU]

Anyone know if the USAB offer is still good?

 

[aic]

Man, I think Gomez is jacking me around. I got this e-mail.

Who are y'all contacting regardings the Gomez / USABancshares deal? I've had $185 or so tied up with them since March, with no sign of my $100 signup bonus. Sad thing is, I almost considering doing my bankign with USAB, until their customer service proved incompetent. I'd talked to them regarding two matter - never got my PIN for my debit card, plus my last name was misspelled on the card itself. They said they'd rectify both; never heard from 'em again. And they were contenders for my Netbank / CitiFi money market account balances...
