That seems like a pretty good deal; much better than my current savings account at least.

Awesome promo code. The wifey and I had a good laugh at that one.

Just called WT Direct regarding this deal more and was told this deal just got out this weekend (8/23-24). Good job Flexo on identifying the deal!!
My only concern is if anybody has had any experience with this bank? I verified it is FDIC member but don’t know about the experience with the service?

Schumia: WTDirect is the online banking “arm” of Wilmington Trust, a large national bank that’s been around for over 100 years. I don’t have an account with them (yet), though, so I don’t have any customer service stories to share.

Thanks Flexo.

I have subsequently found some discussion at FatWallet: Overall the discussion is very positive, I already applied and waiting for initial funding to go thru..

Harold: That’s a shame. I just received an email from the bank saying the same thing — they’ve ended the promotion early due to excessive demand.
