The 5% APY is in regards to their rewards checking and not their online savings. Rewards checking requires that you make a certain # of debit card transactions in order to get the high APY.

Redneck's online savings APY was 3.1%, not a "sucker's rate" in my book regarding current market forces. But it was a rate designed to capture market share and deposits, and once their goals were met, the APY always comes down. I've seen it happen too many times to keep chasing rate.
