Discover does not have any minimum balance requirement, and you can withdraw all the funds after opening the account and fulfilling the $15,000 deposit requirement.

There’s no mention of a fee for closing the account at any time. Note that you need to leave the account open until March 31st or whenever the bonus posts.

Our Verdict

This bonus is very often available, but usually it requires an affiliate link which we don’t use on our site; this current offer is a public one. We’ve been trying to get Discover to do a DoC only deal, but limited progress has been made.

This deal is pretty good if you can float $15,000. It doesn’t look like there is any deposit requirement length, so you should be able to deposit $15,000 and then immediately withdraw it. In the past bonus has posted around 5-15 days after the $15,000 requirement has been met.

Lots of people like the Discover bonuses since they are so easy to do, and the interest rate offered on the account is decent too (though not the best around). We will be adding this bonus to our list of the best saving account promotions.
