I personally think I shouldnt lose sleep on this. If you do the math, even when you max out $20,000 in SC Jumpstart, a drop of 1.6% from 2% to 0.4% means you're losing $320/year. If I cut spending of $30 a month, that's already more than what I will "miss out" from the reduced interest rates. I think interest rates don't matter too much if your assets are below $50,000. Interest rates are never constant, but you can change your lifestyle. And this might even be easier than spending many hours researching the best savings interest rate. More benefit less effort. Hahaha sorry it wasn't exactly the answer you were looking for.

The answers for such financial questions are always, it depends. Now that the **rate will drop to 0....
