Our Verdict
This account is slightly different in that you can only transfer $5 – $500 per month, looks like you must transfer in at least $5 per month to be eligible for the 6% rate. I guess the best plan is to transfer $500 per month to start with and then switch it back to $5 per month once you near the $6,000 limit.
