Marcus by Goldman Sachs is offering a limited-time cash bonus up to $1,500 when you open or enroll an Online Savings Account and deposit qualifying new funds. On top of that, the account earns a competitive 3.65% APY (FDIC insured).

Bonus tiers:
• 💵 Deposit $10,000+ → $100 bonus
• 💵 Deposit $50,000+ → $750 bonus
• 💵 Deposit $100,000+ → $1,500 bonus

📅 Enroll by: March 11, 2026



📝 How to Qualify
1. Enroll in the offer
• New customers: Open a Marcus Online Savings Account and enroll
• Existing customers: Log in and enroll your savings account
2. Deposit new funds
• Deposit qualifying amount within 10 calendar days
3. Maintain balance
• Keep the funds in the account for 90 days after the 10-day funding period
4. Get paid
• Bonus is deposited automatically within 14 days after requirements are met



✅ Why This Is a Good Deal
• 🔒 FDIC insured (Goldman Sachs Bank USA)
• 📈 3.65% APY (about 8× national average)
• 💰 High cash bonus for savers with larger balances
• 🕒 No monthly fees
• 📞 24/7 customer service
• 📱 Easy online access



⚠️ Important Notes
• Bonus requires new funds only
• Withdrawals during the 90-day period may reduce or cancel the bonus
• Existing customers must also maintain their starting balances
• CD withdrawals or transfers out may impact eligibility



🧠 Bottom Line

If you have $10K–$100K+ sitting in low-interest savings, this is a solid low-risk, guaranteed return deal. Especially strong for those who can park $100K for 3 months and grab the $1,500 bonus + interest.

Can this be combined with the no penalty CD?

Best case is no drop in 3.65% (equivalent to 4 week T-bill) rate in 90 days. True rate is 3.65% minus 11% CA tax, or 3.248%. Pay $100.50 CA tax and get $1500 cash. Easy cash without the BS direct deposit.

Best option is to link your Treasury Direct account to GS and move the $ back and forth. The risk is GS dropping the rate by 1 or 2% after 03/11/26. If this happens, then move the money back to Treasury Direct. One can capture the 4 week Treasury Direct auction every Monday before 8 am PST. Gotta be careful with these bankers.

How does Treasury Direct play into this? I mean, yeah, it's an option if someone wants to grab some T-bills, but just wondering why specifically mentioned? One can buy treasuries from any brokerage.

And a 1-2% drop would be unusually large, although one never knows. But if we say rates dropped 1%, I'd expect treasuries would have dropped by about the same.

I don't have a lot of confidence in these guys, lots of stories of them locking accounts and they weren't even able to verify my phone number which I've had no trouble with other banks

I just bought an iPhone and used the financing through this company and experiencing things I've never have before with installment credit. I'm filing an attorney general complaint, and would not touch this offer with a ten foot pole.

One must have buying power at Fidelity to buy T-bills. The buying power goes away once the order is placed.

One can place a buy order at Treasury Direct. If there is insufficient fund at the settlement date, then the order will be cancelled.

I think the APR equivalent for the 4 months lockup (90d hold + 14d payout) is 3.03% with $10K and 4.57% with +$50K. Is that right?

Get a $100, $750, or $1,500 Cash Bonus + earn 3.65% APY with an Online Savings Account.
Marcus HYSA rate is very competitive at 3.65% APY which you can also get a referral bonus (pm if you have questions) of 0.25% split between 3 months. Which comes out to be another 1% APY. The good thing is that this bonus is for new and EXISTING customers.
