Should be noted that this may (or may not) be a promotional rate as there is a termination date as indicated:
"· Rates guaranteed until 8/31/06.
· New money only."
Also, money already in Indymac would not qualify.

Good points.
Wonder if customers could transfer money out and back in to qualify for the new money requirement.
As we learned from HSBC, a rate guarantee date often follows with a rate decrease after the date.
