I mean i understand, rate can drop from 4% to 3.5 or go up a but, but will they drop to something like 0.50% like the other banks?
Amex savings stay around 3.5 to 4.5% for years.

Personally, I find CIT to be a great option. It consistently offers top-tier savings rates, and while ACH transfers can be a bit slow, there is a significant hidden perk: outgoing wire transfers are free if your balance is $25,000 or more. Just keep in mind that they do require a $1,000 minimum per wire to qualify.
