Should I switch to this high rate checking account for my emergency fund?
I would also check into whether you can keep using your credit card instead of switching to a debit card tied to your checking account.  The credit card provides you protection from someone wiping your account out.  Most banks will help you get the money back if this happens while using a debit card.  But you are out the money while the bank figures out who is wrong.  In the credit cards case none of your money is actually taken from your account while you dispute the charge. I also agree with the others that having all your money in one account is more difficult to keep real spending money separate from emergency fund money.
