CD rates not even worth chasing
April 22, 2009
These are the best CD rates Citibank’s offering right now:
What’s even sadder is that the 2.25% APY is still marginally better than my regular savings accounts which hover just around 1.5%. Yay. P’raps it’ll be worth my while to lock up about 10K in the one year CD. It’s certainly not worth my time to hunt around for slightly better rates if I don’t want to open up yet more bank accounts. (I don’t.)
Ugh, I’m having the same problem. I had one CD that matures today, and it was at almost 4%. What can we do, though? No one is giving money!
paranoidasteroid: Yeah, I think we’re just better off cashing it out than locking it into a low rate for too long.
