Savings Accounts
It seems like few people would qualify to join, but they allow you if you donate to one of specific charities, like this one that costs $10 a year:
Reach out for Schools
1. Donate $10 to RofS
2. Join DFCU
3. Deposit $1,000
4. Earn $5 a month
5. Invite blood relatives if you like any
6. Profit!
They also have a huge list of participating employers. I wonder what it would take for your employer to join.
The best that I found anywhere else is 1.7%. $1,000 isn't much, I currently have several thousand in savings, but $1,000 at 6% is like $3,500 at 1.7%.
Do any of you know of any accounts that the average person could open that pays over 1.7%?
