Premier America Credit Union has a new 7.00% certificate promotion. Unlike the previous ones that I’ve recently reported on, this one is listed at the credit union’s website. It’s a 7.00% APY 6-month certifcate with a minimum deposit of $1,000, and a maximum of $5,000. A checking account is required, and funds must be new to the credit union. There’s a limit of one certificate per member/social security number. The last day for this CD special is February 15, 2008.

Field of membership includes members of the Alliance for the Advancement of Arts & Education (AAAE). Anyone can join this organization. According to the membership page:

When you apply for membership, be sure to select “AAAE” on the company listing. Then complete the AAAE application that will be provided during online account opening.

AAAE’s one-time membership fee is $25. Premier America Credit Union will grant this fee on your behalf when you join AAAE to become a qualifying member with Premier America Credit Union. The funds will be sent to the AAAE office, and will be used to support arts and education mission.

You can qualify to join Premier without joining AAAE if you live, work, worship or attend school in parts of California or within 10 miles of our Westchase branch in Houston, Texas. In addition, you can be eligible if you’re an employee or member of a long list of companies and organizations.
