I'm seeing web ads now for an American Express "high-yield" savings account that just started yesterday (02/17/10) which has a rate of 1.50%.
I'm also seeing ads for Capital One's new online savings, with a rate of 1.45%, but has a feature where four times a year they'll apply a 10% bonus to the interest you've already earned. So if you've gotten $100 in interest, they'll give you a bonus $10. Not sure how it all works out, and let's face it, these are opening rates so they're all bound to be teasers and will drop like stones in no time. But a heads up none the less.
