Marcus $100 bonus on $10k new money for 3 mos hit my account!! I had basically moved the money out and back in to qualify but I was pretty sure I had missed out on the bonus. FYI they are paying 4.15 APR and they still have 3 mo 1% referral bonus. I think you can also stack the AARP .1% for 24 mos.

Anybody need a referral?

Oh it's very possible.

They pay on a quarterly basis and I was always heavily invested in pretty conservative and/or exclusively fixed income investments. The last 20 years it's been 100% in fixed income. Some quarters it wasn't a lot but it was always positive. The last several quarters have been record payments for me.

American Express announced a rate increase on it's high yield savings account effective 5/31 to 4.0% - this is up from the increase of 3.90% announced on 5/16.

A 12-month-CD is now 4.25%, and 24-months are at 4.0%. All other terms are lower.

VMFXX Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund and VUSXX Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund both have a 7 day SEC yield of 5.04%. Usually the Treasury MM fund is less than the Federal MM fund. This is the 1st time I saw them with the same 7 day yield.

I was eyeing a call protected 1yr from UMB at 5.30 today. Almost pulled the trigger.

I’m sure that’s why it popped up as a new special.

Just after this CD craze really got going last year, some of the first few I bought (see below) were for ~9mo terms and will mature this month. Glad I only bought them for 9mos. I think I'll be re-investing immediately for 18mos and over 5%.

Rate ------Term ---- Maturity Date

3.00% --- 9.00 ------ 6/9/23
3.15% --- 9.00 ------ 6/14/23
4.10% ----9.00 ------ 6/27/23

The 3-5 yr rates on Fidelity's brokered non-callable CDs hasn't move in weeks.

It is the credit union analog of a CD. CDs can only be issued by banks. FDIC insurance is given on deposits at banks, not credit unions. Credit union products are insured by NCUA, the credit union analogy of FDIC. NCUA, like FDIC, insures up to $250k per depositor ("member-owner") per institution.

Good am. I had a CD come due today, it was 3.25% for 5 Years. On fence about getting a 5 yr CD for 4.55% $200k or going for a shorter time. EWP is 180day interest. I will not need the money before 5 years. Any suggestions? I can't see rates going much higher
