Looks tempting. But these are only rated for inflation as fixed rate is 0%. Once inflation is back down, your rate will go down with it.
In case you're wondering, here's how the rate is computed:
Composite rate =

No, these are govt bonds. They stay in the treasury. I bonds are based on the rate of inflation. They have a fixed rate plus the current rate of inflation. Inflation goes up, you earn more. It was 3.54%. Rates went up on 11/1. To realize the full benefit you need to buy before the rates change on 5/1 and 11/1. No fees or penalties. Hold for a min.of a year. If you cash out in less than 5 years you forfeit 3 months interest. After 5 years, you don't pay anything. You can only buy $10k/yr and then up to an additional $5k if purchased directly from your tax refund.
I bought $10k in denominations of 2,3, 5 so if I want to cash out I can do it in chunks instead of having to cash out $10k.: Better than any CD or bank rate if you want to stay in cash.

By the way, using your tax refund to purchase bonds won't count toward your $10k yearly limit.

This is a good investment to set and forget, and probably for older folks who don't want a lot of risk.

Only thing I have learnt in my lifetime which is true is, NEVER bet against US..
Atleast for the foreseeable future.. So don't expect default bla bla because before US defaults, the rest of the countries might be already back in bronze age..

Can you buy $10K before year-end and another $10K before the change in 2022 to get this rate?

Signing up was a bit more involved than just opening a bank account.

The fine print says $10,000 per calendar year. So I would imagine you can.

I didn't have a speck of trouble signing up which surprised me since I'm quite familiar with what a pain federal websites normally are.

Monthly. But because of 3-month penalty, the account balance will change from month-4.

So how much you can invest ??. 10K per year per person ?

If I have kids 2 below 18, can I invest 10K each
So lets assume couple with 2 kids below 18. Can I put 40K in there ??
Can I do that with same online account or do we need account for each...

This website is so confusing..
I have the same question. Anyone else know?

Quote from labboypro :
Yes, and be aware that this rate is adjusted every 6 months, so it will almost certainly change May 1. Your purchase does NOT lock you into a rate beyond the 6-month periods (May-October and November-April)... so if it goes up, any purchase you've made today or after January 1 goes up. If the rate goes down (not terribly likely given current conditions), your rate goes down.
The rate locks in for 6 months but won't change in May. If you buy in January, the rate will change to the revised rate in July 2022. And then again in January 2023, and so on, until you cash it in. And if cashed in before 5 years, the most recent 3 months interest will be forfeited.
