David and Irene… since you seem to hate DSD so much because they lowered the rate, can you please tell me who has a better rate. IMO, they still have one of the highest rates around and there system is very very easy to use.

Dollar Savings Direct is not a good bank. I opened my account with them while they promoted an interest of 4%. Within one month they lowered their rates three times to 2.05%, which is lower than many other online savings accounts. That gives the impression that they behave like fishermen. Once the fish is on hook they don’t care about you. Their service is nothing I can recommend to my friends either.

David, you’ve just been unlucky to time it wrong. I opened my DSD account sometime in late summer/early fall when the rate was 3.75%. Then, while other banks were lowering rates, DSD increased theirs to 4% and kept it there for several more months (until the end of 2008, I believe). Looking back, I also had money with Emigrant, had their 1.4% cash back credit card, and took advantage of them until I could do better elsewhere. Like the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end”. Most of my liquid money is currently with DSD, and as soon as I find a good enough deal, I’ll be playing the “yield chaser” game again.

I have become totally disillusioned with Emigrant/DSD because they REPEATEDLY start with a TEASER rate & then quickly DROP their rates! I THOUGHT that since it was described as a non-brick savings place that they would keep their rates higher for longer…but alas, JUST as they did dirty to me with a previous ED acct, they have DROPPED their rates from weeks to even days. I am transfering ALL of my $ back to my bank that has consistently offerd 2.7! So much for me chasing rates & good bye ED/DSD & whatever else they come up with FOREVER! Now known as the “BAD LUCK OF THE IRISH!”
