My company lets me directly contribute from my paycheck, and offers 4.5% interest over a 10 month period. It hides my money from me in a productive way.

My favorite strategy for getting rid of change is to use it at a gas station. You can be specific down to the penny when you pre-pay for gas, and this way all your change gets used up for things you need to use now, as opposed to sitting in a jar waiting for you to take it to the bank... whenever.
