H&R Block ended its promotional 6-month CD this week, but replaced it with a new one — a 90-day CD that pays 1.50% APY with a $5,000 minimum deposit.

If you click on H&R Block Bank right at the beginning it will take you to the Block Web site and the page where you can apply for the 6-month CD.

It’s a special promotion that only lasts until Sept. 30, so it’s listed separately and not on with the “current CD rates.”

Don’t support HR block. What a rip off place that takes advantage of the poor. Specifically poor single mothers. I don’t care what they offer I’d have nothing to do with them.

Ok, I see it now:

http://www.hrblock.com/bank/deposit_rates.jsp

“180 Day CD ($10,000 minimum) Interest Rate 1.986 APY2.00 ”

Now I’ll think about it………

I don’t see the 2.0% APY 6-mon CD rate either listed on their website. Will definitely NOT open an account until the special rate is published on their website. Don’t want to have $10,000 be stuck with a low rate CD.

Hmm, that’s not shown on H&R’s website listing current CD rates:

6 months/180 days is listed as 1% APY – looks like they need to update their site to ensure consistency.
