Qualifying for certificate-like APY is so easy, many people already do. The list of free monthly qualification cycle* requirements is minimal:
All members will receive current certificate-like APY the very first month they sign up regardless of whether or not they meet the qualification cycle requirements.
After the first month, members who do not meet the qualification cycle requirements will receive 0.05% APY on their balances for that monthly qualification cycle. You always have a chance to start over and meet the qualification cycle requirements the very next monthly qualification cycle, and you never pay a maintenance fee no matter what happens. The current certificate-like APY applies to balances up to $25,000.00. Balances over $25,000.00 will receive the current savings rate.
Current certificate-like APY*:Better than most certificate rates.
No minimum balance or maintenance fees:Your account balance may fluctuate, but Crest Incentive Checking benefits still pay off.

But next week's big event is reserved for Ben Bernanke and his posse at the Fed. On Wednesday the Federal Open Market Committee will release its latest decision on monetary policy.
