Big initial deposit required, but banks paying 4.3% on savings typically do not pay sign-up bonuses. Getting both a good rate and SUB is nice, and unusual.

No direct deposit games - nice. Finally, a bank that doesn't care where the money comes from.

The risk here is that you have to keep $5k in for 60-90 days to get the 4.3%, but CIT can lower the rate in that timeframe. However, CIT has historically had good rates on this account for quite a while - not at the very top of what is available, but certainly within shooting distance of the top. I would expect them to remain competitive.

Live Oak Bank has a much better $300 bonus for $20,000 on deposit for 60 days.

Could someone lend me a penny so I can get a $300 SUB instead of $229? Right now I only have $49,999.99. I promise I will pay you back with interest once I receive the SUB.

I signed up for the bonus late one night and forgot all about it until they sent me an email last week telling me I was registered for the promo. Got my xfers in about 4 days before the deadline. I'm in no rush for the bonus though as this is my primary savings acc't anyway.

Note on the original post, it states you need to make a single deposit of $50k+. This is incorrect. From the official terms:

Code:
To meet the promotion requirements, make one or more deposits within the 30-day period after you open a new account or enroll your existing Platinum Savings account using the promo code PS2025.

Live Oak's APY is 4.2%.

We currently have CIT bank. HYSA. It was said to be at 5% but has since then fluxuated to about 4.2ish %. it changes per month. We've had the account for almost a year i think?

No major issues, the money sits anyways.

Sadly that's any bank with HYSA now. Frown With the feds lowering rates, these banks screw customers over and make more money.

I set up an account for my daughter and aunt a year or so ago with citbank. After signing up it said all was good but login doesn't actually work for a few days lol. Back then nothing was noted on the site, I had to call. Otherwise the bank has been fine. We use it as a hysa not regularly used.

Quote from kinborekinbo :
So, let me get this straight. I deposit $50k, on which the bank earns interest elsewhere, and I get a bonus of....0.6%?? (and pay taxes to Uncle Sam on top)?

25k for $225 would be better rate. 0.9% return but only for a few months. So actually APY would be somewhere between:
2 months held - 0.9% x 6 = 5.4%
3 months held - 0.9% x 4 = 3.6%

Plus, the 4.1% interest rate. So somewhere between 7.7 - 9.5%.

So pretty close to the average stock market returns (whole market, not S&P) except tax disadvantages. $225 for 1-2 hours of work isn't bad though (though sadly, if you happen to have 50k that you can keep around for 2 months, most likely, you are making enough money that you will probably be paying at least 24% in taxes)

Hello, I might have missed the conversation about enrolling spouse as an additional account. Will it qualify? Thank you.

After the initial 30 day funding period can I pull money from the account and still get the bonus? Or do I need to still maintain the balance for the remaining 60?
