This post is intended to be a place where readers can share info on the best bank deals or other useful banking news. Your help is much appreciated. Also, I'm including websites that list the best CD and money market rates. This is intended to be a place where you can start your search for the best bank deals.
New! I'm now including feeds of the latest comments in this post. This is intended to make it easy to review the latest comments and deals. The very top comments are links to the latest 5 comments from this post. The bottom section includes links to the latest comments from all of the Bank Deals posts. I also include links to the latest 25 Bank Deals Posts. The top left column provides links to all of these sections. No referral requests in this post. Since those comments would ruin the usefulness of the recent comments, please do not post referral requests in this post.
This is the tenth finding-the-best-deals post. The last one was getting too long. Also, when there are more than 200 comments, blogger now requires you to click to the next comment page to see the new comments. So to make it easier to post and review comments, I'll be sure to create a new post once the number of comments exceed 200.
In your comment, please include the link to the deal. If the deal is not on the bank's website, please include the source of the deal (i.e. a New York Times newspaper ad, a sign at a local bank, etc.)
I'll try my best to post on the deals, and I'll be sure to give you credit. If you want to remain anonymous, simply comment as an anonymous user or email me at bankdeals at gmail dot com.
One tip to see if the deal has already been posted is to use the search box at the top of this page or do a search of my archive page or the monthly archives which are located on the right sidebar.
Bank Deals at this Blog and Elsewhere
With new deals from banks and credit unions constantly popping up, no site has a complete list of all the best deals. Some think Bankrate.com has a complete list, but it fails to list many high rate CDs especially those with odd terms like an 11-month term. Also, it does a poor job at credit union certificates.
Below are lists of the best resources for different categories. I've included mine on top of each category (noted by Bank Deals:). If you find another good source of bank deals, please let me know.
