Or go with an online bank. Most in the 1.8% to 2% interest earnings.

The date this year for the deadline was just last week on July 24th....same time period every year.

Thanks. I wasn't sure and my papers are in the safery deposit box. I just know that May/June was close.

My Money Market Advantage account at Citizens First get 1.75%. Depending on the size of the bond you could pick up a few hundred bucks waiting until July. But that is just my feeling. I understand that being free of the bond is a big financial weight that is gone.
