Does HSBC offer a credit card with a 1.25% rebate like Emmigrant?
I think I will get this card. 1.25% rebate on most things, combined with 5% rebate on Discovery Gas card is hard to beat.
Not worth moving my $$$ from Emmigrant for this little promo.

Yes, you need an Emigrant Direct account to get the cash back. It gets deposited right into the account every 6 months. And you need to maintain a minimum AVERAGE balance of $10,000 to get the full 1.25%, or it defaults back to 0.5%.

Tis why I like my Paypal account....4.38% interest, and 1.5% cash back on all card purchases using my paypal cc. Never had a problem with them....can't complain even if the interest is a little bit less.

Seems worth investigating. Thanks.
Can you provide a link? Paypal does not seem to promote the mma nor credit card (although I had received email from them before.. never remember anything about 1.5% cash back thouhg).
They're not FDIC insured... if your money disappears ur screwed. Good luck.
Nope, no reason from me?Originally posted by: konichiwa
Here's my question...I currently have all my savings money @ ING for their 4.8% promotion, but I have active accounts at both ING and Emigrant, and tend to keep most of my savings at Emigrant because their non-special yield is higher, but I keep a few weeks of more liquid funds in ING just because I can't stand the Emigrant interface -- it's such sh!t compared to ING
But with HSBC being pretty high with their special and higher than both ING and Emigrant normally (right?) I'm thinking of switching it ALL over to HSBC and closing out my Emigrant/ING
Anyone have any reason to dissuade me from doing this??
thanks for the help, financial gurus

Can someone look into this...It says that there is a $15 dollar fee for Funds transferred in? So everytime i make a deposit it charges me $15 bucks? Also says $30 for transfer out. Is this something special or just your normal deposits and withdrawals. Im a banking noob.
