If you have an account with NASA FCU, this is a great deal. However, if you need to open an account and transfer cash in and then transfer cash out - well maybe there are better alternatives.

1. Zero Coupon (3 mo) T-bills are yielding 5.2% (Cusip: 912796XY0). You can ladder these and get up to the 9 mos if you want. The extra 0.3% at NASA (assume $10k deposit) is worth $22.

2. Munis - I am seeing Munis (around 9 mos expiration) yielding 4% - these are tax exempt, so 4% / (1-your tax rate) to get after tax yield. These 4% therefore are close to 6%, but there is some risk in munis.

3. Is it worth it - so for each 0.5% increase in yield on a CD (assume you deposit $10k), you get an extra $37. If your bank has a 5% CD and you go through the hassle (I am assuming it is a hassle) to open a new account to get the 5.5%, is the extra $37 worth it to you. That is the real qs.

Just my $0.02. Peace

Credit Unions are insured by NCUA [wikipedia.org], the credit union version of the FDIC. And NASA FCU is NCUA insured: https://www.nasafcu.com/about-us

This, or investing in VZ (Verizon stock) at around 7% dividend yield? Risk is the stock can go down from $37-38/ share price, but the 7% div yield may limit its fall below this, as long as they perform (generate cash and payout the dividend).
Just curious why just Verizon if the stocks?
There are many which will give you same or better returns or even some ETFs like JEPI .

are they insured by FDIC? i don't see that on their website.
Credit Union's are covered under NCUA which is similar to FDIC

Lol that's ironic- both are backed by the full faith and credit of the US government.
Lol - 'full faith and credit of the US government'.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself. 😁😉😘

Choosing the eligibility as "NSS membership" mentions "Offering One year complimentary NSS membership". Any idea what will be the yearly membership subscription after that ?

No, my new auto loan with United States Senate Federal Credit Union is approved recently. The rate is 3.49% for 48 months. It's easy to become a member if you're a Federal employee like me but there are workarouns for this.
Yo! PM me on that workaround. Those auto rates are slick!

CD locked your money, not worthwhile to park your cash IMO. I use Wealthfront. Standard saving rate is 4.55% with boost to 5.05% with refer link. It doesn't lock your money and you have access to your cash whenever. Also Wealthfront is insured up to $2M.

Okay. How does someone do tBills every 4 weeks? The website is not noob friendly.
Be careful you will have effects from buy ask spread and some brokers have round trip prices (fee to buy fee to sell if not maturity) that will eat away your profits very fast so I would recommend starting w/ 3 months or longer to start with if you are investing less than $100k. If in doubt ask your broker help desk what the fees are, how they clear, and how they mark. These all add up!
Jumping into t-bills is much more complex than meets the eye, especially if you are trying to retain a good rate edge.

You can go on treasuries direct and start from there and buy from the source.

Looks like it's pretty much the top rate at the moment, along with Northern Bank Direct
northern looks much better with just 500 minimum

1 month T-Bills are going for 5.4% if you don't want to lock up your money for 9 months. Just saying.
that actually makes it a worse deal.
