Communications FCU Is Terminating Their Free Performance Checking ...
Communications Federal Credit Union (0 stars) - DetailsTheir (4%, $25K) RCA is no longer on their website; in addition, they will change their rate to (3%, $25K) by 1 January 2012 (and stricter RCA requirements) as indicated here by an Anon.:
"Received email from Communications FCU 23 November 2011 stating changes effective 1 January 2012:
Rate drop to 3.00% APY, $100.00 aggregate total purchases using debit card per cycle to qualify for rewards rate (minimum number of purchases to qualify for rewards rate remains unchanged at 12, requirement that the purchases be signature based transactions remains unchanged), cycle dates changing from start and end of month to always end on the 24th of the month and start on the 25th of the month.
Contacted the credit union by phone, they said January 2012 will be a short cycle starting 1 January 2012 and ending 24 January 2012, and that the $100.00 aggregate total debit card purchases requirement to qualify for the reward rate is a minimum, not an exact amount."
They will grandfather existing Free Performance Checking accounts; but expect more rate cuts and requirements changes, and the same bad customer service. When there should be any account issue, may the "Force" be with you:D

Communications FCU is a terrbile (worst on my list) CU in terms of their customer service and resolution of account issues. It is prudent to stay away from them unless you enjoy worst treatment and unpredictable checking APY/T&C.
