Mysavingsdirect was 1.25% until this month, they just lowered the rate to 1.1%. Grr. Still seems higher than others. Their website UI is good and they are the online presence of Emigrant Bank, so, seem trustworthy.
By link to your account, I mean you need a checking account elsewhere. You fund your MSD account from your checking account (at any other bank) by first doing the micropayment validation (they send you two payments under a dollar and you verify the amounts you got) and then you can use their UI to move money to and from your checking account.
Takes 1 to 2 days to transfer.
They also hold incoming transfers for five business days.
For a savings account I am fine with that, I am using it to sock money away for a planned car purchase, and for an IRA contribution that I will process as a lump sum in February or May.
My employer's payroll lets me put more than one direct deposit account so I have my budgeted monthly saving amount go directly into the MSD account and the rest to cover my bills goes to my checking account (elsewhere). I can confirm that direct payroll deposit and account transfers work and have been happy so far other than seeing that rate drop from 1.25 to 1.1% 
Would love to know the names of institutions that can beat their 1.1% rate. I'm happy with MSD but if can get more elsewhere... I'm not loyal lol
