Now that they've dropped the $25 fee on checks, SmartyPig offers one of the best interest rates in the country. People use it because they get a better return. Who doesn't want a little extra cash? @James,

You can do pretty much everything they offer with other web tools...for free. Yeah, I don’t know why people need SmartyPig to begin with.

These few changes will make the program a lot more usable for people with any kind of goal. I don't like getting things on cards and, as Lazy points out, they can't be used in some situations. Good.

I like to buy things off of Craigslist since I can often save a few dollars. People on Craigslist don't take MasterCard, so it's great to have this option. It's not just the people who are trying to save up for big goals. If I had been able to set up my account, this was going to be something that I’d complain about before they fixed it.
