I kept too much cash in my old BofA checking and lost some cash. Now I use ING Direct savings with my Wachovia checking and I see a great difference. More money and better customer service.

If you really want to know a sound way of receiving free money you might want to look into an interesting opportunity that doesn’t require you to go into a great amount of debt, no inventory, no collections, and you get rewarded just for informing people of their choices. There is an increasing monthly residual income stream compensation plan. All you have to do is help people either save or make money. All you do is follow the simple procedures.

I have money in Paypal but it costs some transaction fees to withdraw it in Malaysia, my home country. I wonder what I can do with the money in Paypal beside spending it. There are free money passing by every minute. Furthermore, US dollar depreciates.

Great list. The 401k, withholding, and frequent flyer points don’t really apply in my case but they’re great tips.

Just last night I transferred most of my checking account balance into a new WAMU savings account. It’s tied to my checking account so I can easily transfer funds back and forth and will earn me 4.99% with no minimum balance. It was silly to carry that kind of balance in a non-interest bearing checking account.

I also love my cash rewards credit card which pays up to $300 in cash-back dividends per year.

And earlier this year we went one step further than the supermarket’s frequent shopper card — we got a Kroger 1-2-3 Rewards card which is a credit card combined with my frequent buyer membership. In addition to the special in-store prices, we regularly receive special coupons and “cash checks” in response to my shopping history. It’s convenient and it saves me money — what’s not to like?

I’m not a Safeway shopper but I carry a Safeway card because it qualifies me for a $0.03/gallon discount at their gas pumps.

Great advice! Re tip #2: set up an Electric Orange account through ING. It’s free, checkless, easy to set up, and pays about 4%!

Correction: “.5% interest means you will get one half of one penny per $100 capital per year” – actually, .5% interest on $100 would bring you $.50. If all you get is half a penny, then your interest rate is .005%.
