The Fine Print

• To qualify for the $200 bonus, open your very first 360 Money Market account online and deposit at least $10,000 no later than 6/30/2017 11:59 p.m. (If you currently have or have had a Savings product with Capital One Bank, Capital One 360 or ING DIRECT before or are a Capital One Associate, you won’t be eligible for the bonus.) In order to qualify for the bonus, you must make a deposit from an external account. Transfers between any Capital One accounts will not qualify. This offer cannot be combined with any other Capital One Bank or Capital One 360 new account opening offer, and is strictly non-transferable. Bonus offer is not valid for multiple accounts and is only available one per account.
• If you qualify for a bonus, Capital One will deposit the bonus money into your account in approximately 6-8 weeks after completing the above conditions. Once it’s deposited, the funds will be available immediately. Account must be in good standing (not in default, closed, or suspended, or otherwise not in good standing).
• All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them

Avoiding Fees

This account has no monthly fees or minimums to worry about.

Our Verdict

They have previously offered this deal, but it has always had targeted language in the fine print. This is no longer the case and it’s available to everybody. The best part of this bonus is that there is no minimum length the $10,000 needs to be deposited for (I don’t know if ACHing in & out smaller amounts will work or not. E.g transfer $5,000 in, transfer $5,000 out and then repeat. Let us know in the comments. Update, ACHing in and out does work).

Bonus usually posts quite quickly after the $10,000 has been deposited. The 1% APY rate is OK, but there are better rates available. We will be adding this to our list of the best savings accounts. Capital One also have a $200 bonus on their checking accounts, but this one still contains the targeted language.
