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...
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
is it that hard to save your own money?
personally i'm really quick on the impulse buy for books
