Applied off referral link and went pending. Credit card funding is an option again. Up to $1,500.

I’d be skeptical of CC funding actually going through (would be great if it did!). It was technically an option when I signed up in June but never went through and Reps were useless when I called. Had to fund after opening with ACH. Easy referral bonus though.

Gee, Republic Bank of Chicago = 5.21% no limits, UFB Direct 5.25% and both with no strings. Plus, numerous other banks/CU are 5%. Why even bother with this? Unless I missed the point!

It’s because the 5%(on $2,000) isn’t dependent on FED rates so you want this for a small capped high yield savings account like DCU 6.17%(on $1,000), HEB 6%(on $2,000), Netspend 5%(on $1,000), Andrews FCU 5.75%(on $1,000) etc. Also with a $50 bonus makes it a better deal. I keep a collection of these accounts just in case rates do ever drop again.

What is the Andrews account that you have for 5.75%?

It’s called their “online savings account” and it’s only available for a limited time you have to apply by December 31st 2023. it’s 5.75% APY on the first $1,000. I already had an Andrews membership so I figured why not? Here is the link it’s not advertised.

I did notice that offer a few months ago. I messaged them at the time about it but they refused to give me that rate because I already had a savings account.

Well that’s a crock because it says it compliments the regular share savings. The rate was 5% originally then they stopped all new applicants. Then they brought it back again and raised the rate to 5.75%. Maybe try a different CSR they can be hit or miss.

You might be right that the initial deal was 5%, rather than 5.75%. Either way, I signed up back then. I think I might have even been the person that told DoC about that offer.

Are you saying that you did the initial deal like I did and have been earning 5% or 5.75% the entire time?

Yes correct I think it’s been around a year now so they automatically bumped up the rate from 5% to 5,75% I didn’t have to do anything. Many people on DA(depositaccounts.com) thought it was the interest rate that was going to expire at a set time but no just the ability to sign up for the account will end. These little accounts make great savings accounts for kids, I have a 10% savings account too on $1,000 but it’s a local only deal.

Sly one,

I checked my last statement and it doesn’t show the interest rate. It also doesn’t show “Details & Settings”. Where did you go to see that the rate changed from 5% to 5.75%?

Great question they only show it on this page; https://www.andrewsfcu.org/Learn/Resources/Rates/Savings-Rates
It’s also on your statement but the APY is a combined rate if you have more that $1,000 in there with interest. Anything over $1,000 is only .05%. I opened one for the wife too and asked about minors but no dice minors are not allowed unlike DCU.

Sly one,

I only have about $1 in that account so I didn’t earn any interest so the current APY didn’t show up on the statement. Even if the APY was 5.75%, the interest on $1 would round down to $0.

I’m probably going to put $15 in the account for November. That way even if I only earn .05%, I should still receive $.01 of interest and the APY should show up on the next statement.

Yep that should do it Anything from $12 to $1,000 should show the correct APY on the statement. Only thing is just make sure it’s in there for the entire statement cycle. It may even make a difference depending how many days are in a given month. Never the less it’s posted on that page and it’s correct according to my statements on both accounts.

Sly one,

I just checked my account. I received $.02 of interest for October and it shows an APY over 7%. That’s of course because $.02 was rounded up. This confirms that you are correct that the account does earn over 5% currently.

I’m a little annoyed that they gave me the wrong information when I inquired. I will probably move up to $1K into the account soon.

Thank you for letting me know.

No problem glad you figured it out. So many CSR’s are misinformed across the board at various FI’s it’s almost trial and error to see if you get a good one. With the latest FED news it’s making more sense to keep these small capped high yield accounts open. The FED should be hiking 2 more times if they really want inflation at 2%…..but alas we have an election year coming up so they may wimp out.
