What surprised me the most was that there was no minimum required. The lowest dollar amount I've seen to open a CD was $500.
You are right about the minimum, however, there is really not much point in opening an CD with less than $500, is there?

And, desperate or not, they may need to offer a little more incentive. Some other current offers:

GMAC 6 or 9 month CD 3.60% APY, 12 month 3.90% APY, $500 minimum

ELOAN 6 month CD 3.50% APY, $500 minimum

IndyMac Bank 12 month CD 4.15% APY, $5K minimum
