I remember getting over 7% on a checking account just a few years ago.

So how does Bank Of America get away from paying me 0.02% on my checking account?
May be I should threaten them with "I am taking my business elsewhere" stuff! Not that
it will do any good

i'm getting about 4.9% on my american century money market accounts, both of which have free check writing if you maintain over $2500 -- under $2500 for more than 90 days and they close the account.
i don't keep a lot of money in my personal and business checking accounts.

I am exactly in the same situation. Most of my cash is in MM's paying just under 5%.
If my checking account paid the same, I could'nt pay for 1 dinner at Ruth Chris Steakhouse
after one years interest since I don't keep much money there. So, I will stay with BoA since
they have a neighborhood branch with very friendly staff and their on-line service has been
excellent.
