Update 11/22/08: The top yield has fallen to 3.33% APY. See bottom of the post for the rate history.

Rossville Bank is offering a reward checking account that pays 3.33% APY on balances up to $25,000 (1.16% for above) and refunds ATM fees (up to $25 per month) if the following monthly requirements are met: 1) 12 Point of Sale Check Card transactions, 2) one direct deposit or ACH auto debit, and 3) receive electronic statements.
