New rates of Emigrant Direct

As you may have already known, Emigrant Direct raised its interest rate to 4.50% APR weeks ago. And you may have heard about the cash rebate credit card issued by Emigrant Direct. I just got an email yesterday that the cash rebate has been increased to 1.40% on every purchase. It still requires to maintain an average daily balance of a least $10.000 in your online saving account though. Most of my savings are sitting in ING and HSBC now. Will see what the new rates from ING and HSBC will be after the promotion period.
