Couldn't apply to existing account; Only option it gives me is to open a new platinum savings account.
For existing accounts, if you try to pull the money out from their system(aka, they should know you are trying to pull out), the system might pop you a retention offer for like 0.25-0.5ish. My current rate is 4.0 apr without this promo.

yea, I know... I've done this twice in the past and it worked. This time, it didn't.
I am guessing they have a cap. like 4 or something for now.

Here is what gpt says:
Steps to try reproducing it
Log into your CIT account
Navigate to Transfers → External Transfer
Set up a transfer outbound to another bank
Enter a large amount (often near your full balance)
Proceed until you reach the screen you quoted:
"Your new transfer has not yet been submitted…"
👉 At this point, one of three things may happen:
You just see the standard confirmation screen (most common)
You get a rate bump / bonus message before submitting
You receive a follow-up email later with an incentive to keep funds

I believe I clicked the main link, then clicked open account on the promo, then logged in and then I think there was an option to enroll my current account or create a new account if I'm remembering correctly.
this worked for me, existing account. it was not listed under offers.

is this rate only for the next 6 moths or will stay like amex savings?
I mean i understand, rate can drop from 4% to 3.5 or go up a but, but will they drop to something like 0.50% like the other banks?
Amex savings stay around 3.5 to 4.5% for years.
so... this seems to be for rich people... 4.10% APY* on balances $5,000 or more....
BUT what happens after the sixmonths?
My account is paying right now... 3.66% for any amount of money! Not this bullshit $5k.
.. while it is not a 4.1%... the difference is not enough for me to consider this deal.
That is nice... but it is only for $20k. I like having my money in a brookage account such as Merrill Edge, and then buying the money market funds if I need to store any cash.
Thank you for your recent application with CIT Bank. After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that we are unable to approve your application.
I have an existing account. Tried to pull money out and was offered a 0.24% boost for 12 months. I accepted it.
Same. I just created a new account and transfer all of the money to the new account. When the six month expires, I will transfer it back to my old account.

Yeah, my credit union is similar...I get 4% but only up to $25k.
