But their terms stink. Check the early withdrawal penalties.

Yeah, but when we jumped on the 3% deal 5 years ago that rate was heads and shoulders better than anything else available.... it was special... now 3% for a 5 year CD is very good but not outstanding... Vanguard is showing 5 year brokered CD's at 3.3%.

I checked and even though one could join, I could not find the 4% rate, (They do not make it easy). We do not live in any of their counties but can join their foundation to become members. Best I could find was 2.6% for 5 Years by randomly selecting counties.
So the 4% is really moot for most of us. If we could even find it.

I chose Pinellas County and then found a rates link somewhere. Then went to IRA/457 B Certificate of Deposit Rates near the bottom of the list. This rate is not available for regular CD's.

You can get 3% in a 3-year brokered CD issue from several institutions. Ally, AMEX, Discover, Citibank, Wells Fargo, and others.

Capital One has a deal for $500 bonus (on a 100k deposit) + 1.6% yield, for a minimum of 90 days. (tiered deposits, $400 on 80k etc).
So that should be $900ish on 100k for 90 days? Also odds are interest rates on CD's might be up by the end of that so better options at the end...

The bonus cash deals have gotten piddly this year.
I just closed out 2 accounts that were opened late last year to grab their bonus cash and make it past the early closeout fee.
1. HSBC - this was the best $200 cash bonus for $1500 deposit and minimum balance for 90 days. HSBC still has these - can get $200 for $1500, $350 for $10k, or $750 for $100k
https://www.us.hsbc.com/checking-acc...gns/offer-2018
2. M&T Bank - $250 for $10,000 deposit...reduced to $7500 once $250 was credited and staying at $7500 minimum to avoid monthly fees.
Earlier last year we did the Discover Savings account, and they are still running that offer now:
https://www.discover.com/online-bank...=057&van=Dbank
The nice thing with this one - no early closeout fee. Once they credit the bonus, you can close the account. Open account by 7/2, fund it to necessary level by 7/16, bonus is credited by 7/30. That's $150 on $15,000 or $200 on $25,000 for under 1 month. And it also pays 1.65% APY while the money is there.

Navy Federal has a 3% 5 year CD available. I haven't compared their EWP with PenFed's.

So we've gone from "wadda we gonna do when this ends?" to "Pfft! 3%! I'm not takin' no stinkin' 3%!"
I think it's good news that rates are trending to be 3% or better when the current CDs mature at year end. I don't think investors or lenders are too enthusiastic beyond 3yr term. This is working out pretty well for me so far.

I'm with you. I'm getting 2.26% on a money market fund, which seems like a good place to park money while waiting for better 3-5 year rates.

I just got the $300 cash bonus deposited for opening a Chase savings account (back in march) and depositing $25k. I immediately moved the $23.4k of that to my Vanguard money market yesterday now earning 1.8% awaiting a better long term CD option (4%+). Why not all of $25.3k? Because according to the fine print the account must remain open for a total of 6 months or they'll pull the reward back.
