Agreed, I do not use one of these accounts myself because of the stipulations involved, however, many people use their debit card every day and otherwise wouldn't have any problem meeting the requirements.
A 4.00%+ yield in this current rate environment is amazing. So, for the person who doesn't mind the strings, such an account would be ideal.
