I love the rates! Plus it is not easy to just transfer your money out so I am actually saving something! This is for heavy duty savers and not people who want to just get a little interest on their mad money before they spend it. I already did that with ING and I ended up withdrawing my savings when I was in a pinch. This money had been budgeted OUT of my paychecks, so I won't touch it and it's taken out automatically.
