Guess they did. My teenager son has his driver license but no credit history. They knew right away. After verifying the money source, they will mail the package for my son to sign.

Johns, why do leave the haters posts up? I would think that this being a professional blog site you would delete the useless posts. It makes your site unprofessional looking when you see those posts here.

I read someone wrote “I don’t like wamu since wamu paid me interest short.” from this website. Then, I went back to check my wamu CD tongiht. It’s so true. If you had CD with wamu before, please check it out.

Thanks Craig,
had no idea about the ACH.
My HSBC can take anywhere from 3 days to a week to move without the ACH.

I want to see proof this blog sold for 15 mill, that simple. Taking the word of some affiliate marketing blog snake in the grass does not prove the fact.

Just prove it for credibility, that’s all.

Now if it is true more power to Mr. Wu and Bankrate.com has to be as dumb as all the banks and car makers asking for tax payers money to fix their stupid business practices.

I hope we don’t see Bankrate.com up on Capitol Hill next month begging for a 15 million dollar bail out, lol.

why not pay $15 mil? Bankrate gets between 4 and 5 million uniques a month and bankaholic gets roughly 400k. If bankrate can monetize bankaholic’s traffic in the same fashion that they do their own. Why not pick up a 10% traffic increase (esp organic traffic) if you can monetize it in a way that justifies the $15 mil?

You notice the reports on the sale were on blogs like “Shoemoney”, “Blog Pro”, and “John Chow”. That speaks volumes on the credibility factor in my opinion. I never heard any mention on CNBC or Fox business channels. I would think a blog that sold for 15 mill would be picked up by these guys. Remember the Million Dollar Hompage pixel guy? He was on CNBC and in the main stream news. This has to be just a publicity stunt.

Note: This is just my opinion until I am proved wrong and in no way fact.

Hey Lili,

You may want to look into an E*Trade account. You can hook up external accounts and create ACH draws from the account you want to make the withdrawal from. E*Trade (and there may be other banks) credits your account the day you request the ACH deposit transfer (If before 4:00 ET). The bank the withrawal happens from, won’t deduct it from your balance until it gets and processes the ACH which is usually the next day.

So, for one day you are earning interest in both banks on the balance actually increasing your earnings instead of reducing your earnings. E*Trade is currently at 3.3%, so for one day (or one weekend) you are in essence earning 9.36% interest.

And John, if you can get that kind of money, more power to you; Capitalism at work I say. It seems like a good deal and worthy of posting regardless of your compensation (if any). Maybe the trolls are from a competetor’s site.

I think it was a bald faced lie touted by Bankaholics public mouthpiece that this sub quality rag sold for $15 Million. There is no public record of it just some innuendo and buzz on few Internet sites.

John Wu still slopping around for wages to earn few dollars. Where is your Lamborghini dude?

(Assuming 50k)
WTDirect: 3.06% for 2 mo +$250 bonus
50k * .0306 = 1530 / 12 = 127.5 * 2 = $255 yield + $250 = $505

CD: 5.5% for 2 mo
50k * .055 = 2750 / 12 = 230 * 2 = $460

So if anyone can point me in the direction of a 2 month CD with a 5.5% yield, I will gladly sign up. But since I do not think I can wait months and months for someone to dig one up, I’ll sign up with WTD and collect my free $150. By the time the promo is done, I can throw my money into something else.

[ I use 5.5% because I'm taking into account the people who have savings accounts set up online. You lose a few days of interest with the transfering your money between banks (and if you have my banks, you may lose up to a week, slow mofos... but ANYWAY). ]

Craig,

You are correct! For some reason I divided 3.06% by 6 assuming the 3.06 yield was annual (thus, dividing by 6 would give you 2 months worth of interest).

My apologies…now the deal looks a tad better:)

….and I still passed all my finance classes in college

Only John Wu will post such a deal. I guess the advertisers have sweetened the pot for him – free laundry facilities + coins for next 6 months
