LOL Flu…I knew you would be on this….I did the Chase account for $100 last year (you get $150 for direct deposit and I didn’t want to mess around with that)….and GET THIS…I got a 1099 at the end of the year. Had to claim it on my taxes! Unbelievable.[/quote]
Actually, I’m much worse… I got my $150 from chase, then I moved it over to USBankCorp and got another $100 from them, which I then moved to IngDirect to get another $75. Also have direct deposit into all three accounts to avoid all the fees…$20 direct deposit in each account. Actually, i did need to open some accounts up for other reasons.Why, I need these many accounts. I don’t know… I miss the days when they gave you a free toaster or a stuff animal.
Anyone remember Crocker Bank with the crocker stuff animal dogs? I got one when I was a kid.
I’m so fvcking cheap…[/quote]
Not cheap. Why not get a deal when you can find one? Smart way to work this one. You ended up with $325 which is a better return on your money that most anything safe these days. I have an account at Ally Bank and it earns about a buck a day. When I opened the account it was at 1.50% and in less than 6 months, it is now at 1.29%.
Considering the banksters are robbing us blind, I have no problem getting a few bucks when I can.
Don’t remember Betty Crocker stuffed animals, but who is old enough to remember getting glass sports mugs from the gas stations with a fill up?
