Assuming your reference to a "penalty" refers to my post, there are lots of reasons. In the case of the Amcore account I mentioned, it is not a CD.
You can take money out any time with some restrictions. Anyway, let's say in 3 months you can get 4% liquid elsewhere. If I have 100K in the account,
it would pay to close it, pay the penalty and move the money. When I am "flipping" CC
money, the penalty is just one cost I need to factor in to make sure I
am maxing my "spread".
