Blast! I need a goon account!

I've heard good things about ING or even the American Express savings account which has 1.3% variable rate; should I open an account there and transfer my savings over?

ING and similar accounts have an awkward 3 business day delay on putting money in and out. It's kind of an inconvenience-to-reward thing. Also, when times are good ING and other high-interest savings accounts have been up over 3-4%, which is pretty cool for money you can withdraw whenever.

If the 3day thing is too much of a pain, and you're just depressed at the 0.05% interest rate, you could check with your bank about opening a money market savings account... but those are variable and terrible right now, too.
