At 0.5%, the $10k bonus is the best. But for what is essentially a 3-month CD, that’s not much of a deal for holding an investable chunk of money. Even my credit union pays 4% on my emergency fund. Better off looking for other bank deals like the Chase one paying $100 for opening and holding a $100 checking account.
Chris, you’re right, it’s definitely not the best bonus we’ve ever seen! Although, one of the reasons I liked it was since the timing will line up nicely with the 5% Certificates at Pentagon Federal starting just after this one runs out.
Which credit union are you using for 4%?
I’m always hesitant chasing percentages with long-term lockups. The 4% account (formerly 6% pre-2008) is at http://www.schoolsfirstfcu.org.....rsaver.asp. It has limits, DD required, and comes out annually, but is free and works for me. There’s also a free 5.12% HSA at http://www.sffirecu.org/checki.....s-accounts. You just can’t find free semi-liquid savings accounts that high these days!
