As a long time member of NFCU Iwill certainly be getting a $4000 celebration CD, thanks to your tip, Brewer!! To illustrate what a great deal this is, NFCU's usual rate for a 12 month CD of <$10,000 has an APY of .85%. Their largest CD with longest duration (where you would earn the most) 7year CD $100,000 min has an APY of only 2.15%. My other bank has similar rates to NFCU's usual rates, but never an offer for a "celebration certificate".

Folks may be interested to know that NFCU membership is open to all military, not just Navy.

Terms listed in the post are contradictory. Is the max 3k or 4k?

If it's 4, then you'd max out and make $160 over the year.

The special 4% certificate aavialble through Sunday is $4k max. Th e $3k refers to something else.

Any other tips Brewer? Not eligible for Navy Fed and got CD's maturing. PFCU best deal is 2.02 @ 7 years. Might just stuff in a few socks under the bed.

I keep looking and am always happyto share, but goodies are hard to come by these days with everyone chasing yield.

You might consider the Ally Bank "Raise your rate" products; you get a (fairly) reasonable initial rate & the right to claim a higher rate twice in the future.
