ING never disappoints with being the first one to drop.

And, when applicable, among the last to rise.

Darn it.... They also cut all of their CD's rates by .25%, so I guess I can at least be glad that I just bought my 2nd of 6 CDs that I'm building into a CD ladder over the next few months....

How very annoying.... ::sigh:: just another reminder that times are not as jolly as they have been.

Capital One has a rewards money market account that gives 2.5% and also gives miles (1 mile per $20). Sounds interesting. Anyone see any catch with this?

You are earning a lower rate on your balance than you could otherwise and what you get in exchange is miles rewards, which are becoming ever increasingly difficult to amass to a redemption level and to redeem.

My advice: See the listing on p.1 on this thread for many wiser and better alternatives.

Now that Wells Fargo is buying them, I wonder if they'll keep it around.
I can't find a page that describes fees or anything though.... I think they charge for outgoing transfers, but I'm not positive

Isn't Wachovia still in trouble?

Wells Fargo is buying them, so I think that means it's all clear now....
