Purchased a 3 yr 260k MYGA from Mass Mutual for my parents at 1.90%.
They will not need this money, so surrender fees are not important.
Willing to take the risk on highly rated Mass Mutual.

Additionally, most will not be eligible:

American Express high yield savings rate reduced to 1.15% down from 1.5% effective today. Their website claims 10X the national average.
I like to compare them to Live Oak Bank, a fairly newish bank with good rates on high yield savings accounts. Today's rate for a personal account is 1.35%. They claim 13X the national average.

Also, I don't know if one can cancel a CitiBank account online, or one has to go to a physical location to do that (that would be too much work imo)

I am considering opening an account with Citi to get this offer. I saw this in the T&Cs.
Using Inter-Institution Transfers from Citibank is easy. You can:
Make one-time and recurring transfers, sent using either the Standard or Next Day delivery service
Make a transfer simply by setting up your non-Citi account by providing the account number and the ABA number
See the chart for the amounts you can transfer
Standard Service Next-Day Service
Outgoing to External Accounts
Daily $10,000 $1,000
30 day rolling calendar period $15,000 $2,500
Does this mean that i can only transfer out within a 30 day period a maximum of $15,000. The Citi rep I talked to on the phone could not answer this question. Thanks

Do a pull from another bank vs a push from Citi. Recommend Discover or Ally as "hub" banks to pull to as they have real sizable daily limits going in or out.

I got that too. Totally expected.
I have a friend who is a mortgage broker and he sent me a text saying that he can book 30 year, 2.75% mortgages right now. He said he is swamped with refi's, not new mortgages.

Funny how the real estate market is right now in some area's of the country with this pandemic going on. Here in the Bay Area homes are selling over night. I just sold my deceased mother's million dollar home this week. Never even hit the MLS.
All because of record low rates.

I am really happy to have opened a GTE promo 3.04% 5 year add last August for me and my wife with a deposit of $500 each. As money is coming to maturity now I am moving the available money into it. I'll have a safe haven for the next 4+ years. Their early withdrawal penalty is 180 days so even withdrawing some money after one year, it would be the equivalent of a 1 year at 1.5% plus apparently there is no penalty for withdrawing any accumulated interest. Who would have thought back in the August interest rates would tank so badly.

Did the same with GTE, but should have opened a separate one for the DGF and I vs. one joint one for $500. However also opened an IRA for 3.30% for the DGF.
Tempting to go over the NCUA limit with the rates are currently, plus could go lower, but not willing to risk any principle.

Where do you think the composite low will be for online savings accounts?
I am thinking around 0.80%.

We were headed for a reset with rates normalizing and a shot at a 4% 5yr CD. A chance to load up and hunker down but too many whiners thought any rate hike is bad, the markets spooked, the Fed rolled over and now has only nuclear options to boost the economy.

Just did the $50k for $450 bonuses for each of us in a 360 account at Capital One. First time I ever got an offer to add to an existing account for a bonus vs having to be a new customer. They are also at 1.15%, so pulling $100k from our 2.0% HY savings still nets about $680 at the lower rate. In before 6/30 &out after 9/30.

As of this morning, it is already down to 1%. When we opened it 6/1 it was 1.3%, but we were new accounts with each getting 500 in bonus. Still worth it for 3 months.

Decisions.....let's see...I have an ALLY High Yield 2.85% CD maturing in late July. Renewal CD is at 1% for 12 months while their savings account interest rate sits at 1.1%. I wonder what I am going to do. LOL!
