Wachovia does this thing where everytime you use your debit card they take an additional dollar out of your checking account and put it in a savings account. Its similar to the Bank of America deal where they round up and put the extra change in a savings account. Wachovia's is better though because they do whole dollars.

We opened the account back in January and right now we're nearing $500. I never imagined we used our debit card that much...

Maf, did you get an Amazon card?  They often have promotions that give back $15 to $25 credit when you spend $100 in a month.

The teller girl at Wachovia pitched me on this program and I didn't really get it.  It sounded like it was just intended for distinguished mentally-challenged fellows with no self-discipline....is it that hard to save your own money?

i'm on that too but it's odd because it doesn't function like a regular savings account

i had a bit of a financial windfall and i tried to deposit it into savings, but you can't do it that way

only through regulated deposits (with a cap of $100 a month) or through the debit card thing

now it's fine i guess.  I set mine up in April.  I do the $100 a month and i have like $400 in there now, so it's nice to have that, but it's just got some odd restrictions on it.  i am considering rolling it over to a regular savings account when it has $500
