This is too much hassle for me, but if you use your debit card for everything you might be interested. I wonder, though, if the rates might eventually go down as a result of tighter regulations on debit card fees.

There is a bank near my house in NC taht is currently paying 4.51%, you have to use their debit card for 10 transactions a month and you have to have at least 1 automatic payment go out of your account monthly. They pay this rate for up to 25K.
