Amex/savenow

It seems that Amex is getting into the personal banking business. Just wanted to put it out there, fell free to discuss. Of course It would be awesome if there was a way to use a cc to fund the account. Any ideas?

How does the 0.85 APY compare to other banks, and is there an advantage in using Amex for savings, or only for ccs?

Been around for a long time.

Rate is much better than you'll get at your local chase/wf/citi. But you probably shouldn't be keeping so much cash in the bank anyways
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

So maybe they're pushing it more these days.

Where else should I keep my money? In a desk to be sold on Craigslist?  ;)
