WTDirect
has
a
new
promotion
in
which
you
can
earn
a
$75
bonus.
This
bonus
doesn't
seem
to
be
listed
at
WTDirect
external
website.
A
reader
mentioned
being
sent
an
email
on
this
promotion
from
WTDirect.
I
just
called
WTDirect,
and
according
to
the
CSR,
people
who
are
not
yet
account
holders
can
qualify
by
opening
the
savings
account
and
meeting
the
qualifications.
The
email
that
the
reader
forwarded
to
me
instructed
the
customer
to
log
into
your
WTDirect
account
and
click
the
"$75
Direct
Deposit
Bonus"
link
on
the
Account
Summary
page.
Some
important
details
include:
*
To
qualify
for
the
$75
bonus,
your
WTDirect
savings
account
balance
must
be
at
least
$10,000
on
July
31,
2009
*
Must
make
direct
deposits
into
your
account
of
at
least
$300
per
month
during
the
period
7/1/09
through
9/30/09
*
Bonus
will
be
credited
to
your
account
on
or
about
October
15,
2009
*
A
direct
deposit
is
defined
as
a
recurring
and
automatic
electronic
deposit
transaction
of
at
least
$300
per
month
initiated
by
a
third
party
source
of
income,
such
as
employment,
pension
or
social
security
income
According
to
the
CSR,
$10,000
must
remain
in
the
account
for
those
3
months,
and
ACH
transfers
won't
count
at
direct
deposit.
WTDirect
savings
account
currently
pays
1.76%
APY
for
balances
over
$10,000.
So
if
you
assume
you
could
receive
50
basis
points
more
in
interest
in
another
savings
account
during
these
3
months,
you'll
lose
about
$12.50
in
interest
[$25
if
you
assume
100
basis
points
higher].
