Lake Michigan Credit Union Paying 4.0 % [Max Checking]

Lake Michigan Credit Union Paying 4.0 % [Max Checking]: It’s been a while since we reported on any spectacular high yield checking accounts mainly due to their tanking rates, however, we found one credit union still boasting a 4% APY checking deal (if you can meet the requirements).

Before you proceed with one of these accounts remember that interest checking accounts or “Rewards Checking Accounts” are not for every one. They come with fairly rigid monthly requirements which must me met or exceeded to earn the exceptional interest rate. Typically, you will be required to make a certain amount of debit transactions from the account (usually between 10 and 15) as well as set up at least one recurring transfer during the 30 day period and use their online banking system. The requirements vary with each banking institution, so make sure they can be met with ease on your part before opening one.

Lake Michigan Credit Union is offering a rewards checking account which they refer to as a “Max Checking Account.” It comes with an industry best 4.0% APY on balances up to $15,000.

Account Features:

-  No fees, and no minimum balance requirements.

-  It pays 4% APY* on balances up to $15,000

-  Refunds up to $15 per month in surcharge ATM withdrawal fees at non-LMCU ATMs when you withdraw from your Max Checking account.

Requirements to earn 4% APY:

- Direct deposit into any LMCU account

- Minimum of 10 debit card purchases per month

- Minimum of 4 logins to home banking per month

- Be eligible for and sign up to receive eStatements/eNotices

Qualcomm Stadium location flooding Matches bio

Qualcomm Stadium location flooding Matches bio: SAN DIEGO (LALATE) – Despite the Qualcomm Stadium flooding, the Poinsettia Bowl will play tonight at its regularly scheduled start time. Poinsettia Bowl’s Qualcomm Stadium  suffered massive flooding yesterday, all the result of rains striking the Southland this week. As of 10 am PST today, the sky is clear, the sun is out, and the temps are improving.

But more importantly, crews are prepping the field urgently.

Poinsettia Bowl Executive Director Bruce Binkowski tells local news that the field is ready. Online pictures provided by organizers at 6:30 am PST today verified the field looks great. Organizers achieved the feat by tarpping the field during the rain, then pumping out the rain Wednesday. Today, they left the logo drawing to early morning.

Start time is 5:06 pm and the game, featuring the Aztecs (8-4) taking on Navy (9-3),  will begin on time, even though the Poinsettia Bowl looked the Poinsettia Bathtub on Wednesday. And if you are wondering, the parking lot has been cleared as well, reports local news.

Footaction, Location, Outlets,Coupons

Footaction, Location, Outlets,Coupons: Gilford Securities has a Buy rating and a $25-$30 price target on shares of Foot Locker, Inc. (NYSE: FL).

In the research report Gilford Securities writes, "CEO Hicks began repositioning Foot Locker a year ago and got about 70% toward his goal of broadening the merchandise assortment by the holiday season. FL should be 100% there in the spring. Assortment refinements will continue after that. Repositioning of Foot Locker, Footaction, Champs, Lady Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker has a long way to go. Sales of basketball shoes, FL's primary category, have revived a year or more of rising sales seems likely. Foot Locker added more running shoes, a hot category—its running shoes sales should be strong in the spring. Foot Locker's 2Q/10 same-store sales rose 2.5%. With assortments 50% toward Hicks' objective, the gain jumped to 8.1% for 3Q/10. Gains were near 10% in September and October. We assume FL had a similar gain in November, as 4Q/10 began. Guidance for 4Q/10 assumes a mid-single digit same-store gain."

Shares of FL lost 27 cents today to close at $19.54, a loss of 1.36%.
