Default BofA's Keep your change OR WaMu's Reward

Washington mutual gives you 3 cents per transaction you do with your mastercard debit

Bank of America will round your charges to the next highest dollar and put that amount into your savings. for the first 3 months they will match 100% of your "keep your change" after that they will give you 5%.

i calculated for 3 (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) trans a day i would get 9 cents from wamu and bofa i would need to get 1.80 worth of change a day to get the 9 cent.

0.60 will get me 3 cents

so WaMu or BofA?

I have BofA and I should be getting like $120 from them Matching me from Keep the Change for the first three months. I don't think that is bad for me only spending my own money. It is pretty good that you end up constantly putting a bit of extra of your own money into your savings.

bank of america will only match your money if you keep the "keep your change" account open for a year if you close it before a year you WILL NOT be matched...make sure you read that pretty fine print...and make sure you keep an eye on your account...because those little coins can throw off your account like crazy....but thats the joy i got for workin for that company

I would read the fine print forwards, backwards AND from the backside of the paper! They have a reason for giving you the money...and it's more than likely so they can get MORE money from YOU...stay away from BofA!!!

I HATE EM!!!

instead of participating in these programs why not just open an accout that offers a higher intrest rate? If your looking for a bank that offers higher rates check out bankrate.com
