Savebetter.com has a No penalty CD @ 3.30% APR. You can break this CD anytime after 30 days. With Fed Reserve increasing rates, CDs in the near future will pay better. So lock in 3.3% for now; if you find a better higher earning CD in the future, break it and lock in. Otherwise, you have a minimum of 3.3% APY for 14 months. There's no minimum and FDIC insured to $250,000

For people that want a higher earning CD they also offer a regular 2 YR CD @ 3.8% through a different bank.

Quote from fgitsin :
The difference is a guaranteed return. Savings accounts often have a high introductory rate that decreases but when rates drop the savings rate will go down. Market is speculating maybe the beginning of easing in 2023 with rates. Savings accounts will go down accordingly. Here you are locked for 14 months if you choose to and then can move if you want to after 30 days.

Even with 50 basis points bump, its nothing to be overly excited about when inflation rate is about 9%. At this point, you're still losing about 5-6% buying power.

people need to shut up about the CDs they suck

buy CDs only if they can beat 1 -2 yr treasury bills at the bare min

this deal cannot even beat the 3 month yield. = 3.29 3.37%
def not the 6 month yield = 3.87 4.00%
1 yr = 3.98 4.16%
2 yr = 100.06 4.22%
5 yr = 100.32 4.05%
10 yr = 91.14 3.84%
30 yr = 85.66 3.81%

note do not touch 30 yr its worthless
best one is likely 6 month as a balance between time and rate hikes.

very likely rate hike to 4.6 and they will realize they need to raise rates more.
dont bother with anything longer than 3-6 months ignore the cds only this worth buying in bonds or cds is inflation bonds and ignore 99% of cds they pay lower than 3 m treasuries

what's the easiest way to get into treasuries?

edit: upon briefly looking into it, it looks like you have to go through a brokerage account?

Our local Edward Jones is offering 4.00% for one year CDs. I guess it's a brokerage. What's the downside?

Savebetter sucks.

Go put this money on a short-term bond instead. 3.6% or T-Bills.

There are multiple savings accounts that are paying out over 3% now. For example, elements financial is paying 3.25% on a FDIC insured savings account.
Tems from Elements Financial:
PROMO HELIUM RATE FOR ONE YEAR ON NEW MONEY NOT ALREADY ON DEPOSIT AT ELEMENTS — $2,500 AND ABOVE - 3.20%/3.25% APY

You only make money if you got enough money to stash to begin with. Like the old adage, "you gotta have money to make money."
This is just getting back some rebate on inflation. The value of the money will be still worth less than initial deposit in 14 months.
