Our Verdict
No enrollment necessary for this offer. I got this one via email and many others sent it in as well, even those who got a bonus when signing up initially. Not sure if it’s targeted or it was sent out to everyone.
This is an easy value since Discover already offers a competitive interest rate in their savings account and this bonus bumps it up even further. You get an extra 1% bonus in just 2 months of holding the funds with Discover which amounts to around 6% APY extra on top of the regular interest rate, an easy win. The language implies that you can make cumulative deposits equaling $10k-$15k to meet the bonus requirement.
Separately, there’s a similar offer for new Discover Savings signups to get $150-$200 bonus with $15,000-$25,000 deposit.
