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.

Note on the original post, it states you need to make a single deposit of $50k+. This is incorrect. From the official terms:
No major issues, the money sits anyways.

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)
yes it will if she is primary on a new account
