Nevertheless, if you can get in (i.e., be approved), enjoy it while it lasts.

You can go to www.easyGROWchecking.com for the info (including the current interest rate); but to summarize, it is a free high-yield account that also offers ATM fee refunds when I meet the three qualifications: using my debit card at least ten times, receiving e-Statements, and having a least one direct deposit or automatic payment each cycle. I do all of those things anyway, so it’s been really easy for me to qualify…and they send me an email each month to let me know if I met the qualifications. I have to admit, I love not having to worry about whether or not an ATM is on my network, and the interest is already starting to add up. It only takes $100 deposit to open the account, and there is no minimum balance. I’m getting really competitive rates with a product called easyGROW Checking at First Bank & Trust.

Some banks are offering rewards checking with rates at or above 5%. But these are banks (and credit unions) that accept depositors from a limited area. Some offers are statewide, others restrict deposits to area residents. At Bankaholic we look for deals that are available nationwide so that anyone who visits our site can apply for the offer. Those who live near banks with high-yield rewards checking account offers are fortunate. The rest of us have to depend on what's nationally available. You’re right!
