This equates to 10.65% APR for 90 days for $50k or $100k if you a new customer and get the bonus interest for a referral of 0.25% for 3 months or 1% APY on an annual basis.
Feel free to DM me if you need a referral as I don't believe we can post our referral codes here.
I have been with Marcus for 10 years and never had an issue.
I had taken money out (50k) last week from Marcus. Now seeing this post. Should I bother with trying for the $50K bonus? Or would I have to put in $100K now to qualify for the $50K bonus? I still have a month to start the promotion. Is there a time period I should wait?

I missed that. Thanks so I'll have to add 100k to be eligible for the $50K. Appreciate the response.
Not impressed with Marcus and would not recommend using. I'm a previous customer (CD's) and in the middle of trying to open a Savings account with them. Required a call to customer service which consisted of them reading back everything I just typed in the online application. Was "approved" but now dealing with their site having "technical issues" and cannot finish the application.
With their decision to drop Quicken downloads and too many BBB complaints with accounts being frozen and funds not available, I'm out. Not worth my time dealing with their issues.

Well that sucks about your situation. I was just planning on opening an account with them today to do this promotion. I guess I'll still try and but hopefully I don't run into issues as I hate getting some incompetent person on the phone to help solve issues, lol.

Service was better when company was part of GE. That said, the only major risk is Marcus' decision to drop the rate 1-2% overnight after 3/11. The process is quite simple if you don't have much money at Marcus on 1/27/26.
1. Sign up by 3/11/26.
2. Deposit the required amount of $ within 10 calendar days of sign up.
3. Wait 100 calendar days after sign up date to take out the $. Interest withdrawal during the holding period is OK.

Thanks for the info. Honestly I can't see Marcus dropping the interest rate much after 3/11 but anything is possible I guess. I have read some horror stories about them locking people's account and not letting them withdraw their own money but not sure what that's all about.
Hopefully those are isolated events and something that can be chalked up to either user error or something of that sort...

My account dates back to GE capital. No problem with same day access to my money if it is a direct deposit. Lockup occurs if one cannot log in with username/password and cannot provide adequate phone verification to unlock the account. The industry's protocol is to submit a valid form of ID to unlock the account.
Best way to deposit new $ is to initiate the transfer from the Marcus account on the 8th or 9th day after sign up to secure proof of deposit.

It sounds like when linking my Marcus account to my funding account Marcus will do micro deposits or possibly I can link my funding account to Marcus by typing in my funding account log in credentials therefore bypassing the micro deposits?

One can instantly link a bank if supported by Plaid. If not supported, then one must validate using the test deposits.
You still have until 3/11/26 to sign up for the bonus, plus another 9 calendar days to deposit new money.
Marcus currently has up to a $1500 bonus cash offer for opening a HYSA. 3.65 yield PLUS a .25 additional yield (3 months) with a referral.
You must deposit at least $10,000 in Eligible New Funds (for a $100 cash bonus) or $50,000 in Eligible New Funds (for a $750 cash bonus), or $100,000 in Eligible New Funds (for a $1,500 cash bonus)
You have to open an account using the referral link, then click on the bonus link to apply the offer to the account if you want max savings. PM me for link if needed.

Doctor of Credit has it at:
$100 bonus for $10,000+ (extra ~4% APY)
$750 bonus for $50,000+ (extra ~6% APY)
$1,500 bonus for $100,000+ (extra 6% APY)
Means the $100 bonus is 7.65% APY and other too are ~9.65%
Not sure if they included the 14d payout, but I assume one wouldn't need to keep all funds there during the payout time?
And that assumes the savings rate remains the same.
And if you know of a sure way to do that, you'd be very popular here.
