I've confirmed at my local Washington Mutual branch that you can also get a 6.00% APY 18-month certificate in addition to the 13-month. The 18-month CD doesn't require new money. As I mentioned in my previous post, WaMu is not offering 6% for these CDs in all states.
A reader informed me today that the Bank of Goochland in Virginia is still offering a 6.00% APY 24-month CD. I first reported on this special on July 19th. They do take out-of-state deposits. I was told that you can wire the funds and fax a letter of direction to facilitate account opening. The bank will then mail a signature card for you to get notarized.
Another reader mentioned that the Peoples First Community Bank in Florida has extended their 6% APY 15-month or 30-month CD special from August 11th to August 18th. To open an account at this bank, you must be present at a bank branch.
World Savings' 6.01% APY 9-month CDs are still available until August 26th. This is an in-branch special (see post). For those who don't live near a branch, you can open a 5.91% APY 13-month CD online at World Savings' website.
