You should also have the option to shut off that Keep the Change thing which would save the headache entirely.

as strange as that sounds, yes it is federal law. a savings account is defined in part by the number of transfers per month. over six and it is no longer a savings account. not sure about the fee part but my guess would be that charging a fee for transfers over six allows you to keep the account as savings? I dunno, that part sounds fishy; the government is not usually in the business of forcing banks to charge fees... quite the opposite.

I was going to, but they told me if I did, I'd had a $5/month fee to keep my accounts open

I am not sure if the fee is part of the federal law but the lady at the bank who told me about that law said the fee was in place to keep people from abusing their savings accounts or something to that effect.

The Keep the Change transfers don't count towards your monthly transfer limit.

**zoobernut** · 2011-12-13 17:28

Transfers into your savings never counts towards your limit, they only care about transfers out of your savings.

Have any of you guys canceled you Facebook account? I thought I was a light user but I feel like I'm going through Facebook withdrawal right now.

**hey** · 2011-12-15 16:27

I don't have a facebook account, so not me.

**Ragnus** · 2011-12-15 16:41

Yeah. I think I'm gonna start reading again. <_<;

**Caiyuo** · 2011-12-15 16:42

grab the Game of Thrones series if it appeals, you can finish the whole thing and watch season 1 before season 2 starts in April

**Ragnus** · 2011-12-15 16:44

Nice. Thanks.

I reported myself dead and make a new (fake) one a couple years back. Haven't really missed it. My friends were idiots.

Deleted my account after someone virushacked it or something, idk. I never used it anyway, never even posted on it once, I only registered to look at family pictures. It seemed like a magnet for invasion of privacy/compromised security so I got rid of it.

I really really hate social networking, it just feels icky to me.

Thinking about doing something I thought I would never do. Buy an apple computer. Considering the 13in Macbook Air for school and usage other than gaming. After looking a bit, I can't find a really decent alternative. The only other mac product I own is the 4S which I do love. I really enjoy their structural feel. (They're solid, no give anywhere. Yes I know they'll shatter if dropped.) I can put windows on it with...Bootcamp I think it's called? Idk. Anyway, I've seen the zenbook, but past experience with an Asus laptop made me think it may be mediocre. I hate to say my reasoning behind buying the MBA is the feel, size, and specs (when compared to others w/ price in that size range it has some of the best specs surprisingly) Word processing, internet, possibly photoshop/illy (I know that'll be a performance hit) will be the main uses. I know $1500 is a lot to spend on an internet browser, but price isn't too much of a concern. Anyway, anyone with actual experience with an alternative or an Air?

Has anyone flown to Spain? Do you have suggestions on airlines? I'm going to be going in late february and would also like some fun ideas - I'll be in Madrid and Barcelona for the most part but if you've got a suggestion for another destination I can probably alter plans

**Cream Soda** · 2011-12-22 07:06

Gift cards, I got one for a restaurant. Can you pay tips w/ the card as well?

**Pyro** · 2011-12-22 10:53

Same as putting the tip on your credit card.

**Cream Soda** · 2011-12-22 12:41

Thanks

Sorry for being unaware but uh, wasn't SOPA supposed to go into vote yesterday? Any updates? Don't want to go into politician threads and read walls of shitfests to not have my question answered ><
