Ultra fast savings account bonuses
« on: August 11, 2018, 12:33:01 PM »
The past 7 weeks or so I've been keeping $15k in cash quite busy cycling between several new savings accounts. So far I've earned bonuses as follows:

$150 (paid) Discover savings
$150 (paid) Discover savings spouse account
$200 (paid) Capital One 360 money market
$200 (pending) Capital One 360 spouse account.

These have all been paid out in under 2 weeks from account opening.

The next bonus I'm looking at is Chase savings $225 but that would tie the money up for 90 days at .01% interest. I may yet do this but I'd prefer to cycle the money thru some other quick payouts.

Does anyone know of any other accounts that pay out quickly?

Awesome job!  The only quick ones I know of Capital One.  Be on the lookout for other offers from them.  I think I have done 2-3 offers between spouse and I over the past 2-3 years.

I just found a local bank offering a rewards checking account paying APY of 4%. $15k max and a few easily-cleared hoops to jump thru. Perfect for my scenario. That $15k will earn $50 per month which will be close to the Chase bonus in the timeframe. Plus the money is available to deploy if another good quick bonus pops up.

Be careful not to hit the bank bonuses too hard, too quickly, or
you could get tripped up by Chex.

I generally hit no more than 4 per year, but YMMV.

I wouldn't worry about that.  I have signed up for 20 accounts in the last 12 months and have only gotten denied once due to Chexsystems (Elements Financial).

Kpd, wow you are racking up the bonus cash!

Any reason you've not gone after the Citizens Bank $400 checking bonus?

I am not in an eligible state for the Citizens Bank bonus, even though there is a Citizens Bank a few miles away from my house.

I just signed up for the Citizen's $400 bonus myself. Without looking it up, I believe the terms was payout will happen 90 days after direct deposit. Anyone know it they pay it out fairly quick or am I going to have to wait close to 90 days? They have a $25 monthly fee that I'm hoping to avoid as much as possible.
