There are a few reward checking accounts around the nation that have their yields guaranteed into 2009. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any with nationwide availability. With the Fed likely to cut interest rates once again, rate guarantees on liquid accounts are especially nice. With help of some readers I've found the following reward checking accounts that have rate guarantees. Like any reward checking account, to receive the high yield you still have to meet the monthly requirements. Also, the balances that qualify for the high yield are capped to $20K ($25K for United FCU).
To find reward checking accounts in other areas of the nation or to learn more about these accounts, please refer to my High Yield Checking website.
