Has anyone signed up for Bank of America's program 'Keep the Change'? I just enrolled us. When the program was first revealed, I thought it was silly because I can easily transfer money myself into my savings but after looking into it more, I see where they will match your transfers - $250.00 the first year and then a % thereafter. So, I figured why not.

I didn't know they match...thanks for the tip, I'm going to look into it.

My mom has it. The only thing I will tell you is when you write checks make sure you use your checking account checks and not the keep the change savings one. They will send you checks for both.

Actually, I had the match wrong but it is better - they will match 100% the first three months and then 5% thereafter up to $250.00 a year. I think the matching is done once a year though on the date you signed up for the program. Every little bit helps, right?!

I've had it for awhile now and I tell you it really adds up for us! We use our Check Card for everything and we always get anywhere from 40-80 a month added to savings. The first month I was shocked how much it added up to. It's nice extra money that we don't miss at all. However, if you are on the cash system I don't see it being beneficial to you b/c obviously you'd get nothing, but if you are like us then it is great!

I have this! One thing to remember, you have to leave the money in savings for one year i do believe.
