It pays to shop around even when it comes to savings accounts and CD's, since there's a big variation in what different banks pay. A lot of "high yield" (laughable term, but everything is relative) savings alternatives are available from online banks like Ally.
PS--Cross posted with your last. So, you thought they would go ahead and pay you more interest than they said they would in the name of customer relations? Really?

No, I didn't think they would pay me more interest. I thought perhaps someone might offer to help me with some advice on trading and what not. Yes, I'm hopeful that there are some good people in the world. Call me Lot.
I just checked into this deal my bank calls a "high-yield" savings account. The premium variable rates are:
$0 - $49,999.99 - 0.05%.
Absolutely sickening.
