I signed up with EmigrantDirect about a month ago after I heard about it on FoxNews. I had to wait a couple of weeks for a letter with my account number on it but that was the only slow part of the process. Now I automatically upload an amount every month from my checking account and the data is automatically downloaded into Quicken. Even some short term CDs with high minimum deposits don't pay 3%.
I might sign up with ING just to get the $25. Let's see... 3% from EmigrantDirect and 2.6% from ING; hey, that's 5.6% return.
