EmigrantDirect Ads Still Show 5.15% vs. 5.05% actual
I’ve been using Emigrant Direct for a while now to stash cash on its way to being invested, for my 0% cash back plan and my emergency fund.
On Sept 30th I was checking on my account and noticed the 5.05% rate on the home page. That weekend I noticed an ad on another personal finance blog for the 5.15% rate but I figured it was just a simple delay.
Today I was reading another blog and saw the same 5.15% ad. I think it is maybe time that EmigrantDirect change their ads. I don’t think the interest difference is huge for most people. The page you click through to for the ad clearly shows the 5.05% rate. Still, a week later they shouldn’t be advertising the old rate.
I dropped them a line, we’ll see what they do. If you have any sightings of the old or new ad please let me know.
Incidentally, I’m not mentioning the blogger as I’m sure he has nothing to do with it, the ads are automated.
