The Offer
- VySar Credit Union is offering a bonus of up to $1,000 when you open a new CD. The bonus table is as follows:
The Fine Print
- In order to receive the bonus amount, CD must be funded with funds from a financial institution other than VyStar Credit Union.
- Bonus will be credited on the next business day after CD is opened and funded.
- Early withdrawal penalty applies and bonus amount will be deducted from CD if closed prior to maturity date.
- Fee incurred could reduce earnings.
- Limited-time offer.
- All new accounts are subject to approval.
- Programs, services, rates, terms and conditions are subject to change at any time without notice. ©2018 VyStar Credit Uni
- All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees
These CDs have no fee to worry about. If the CD is closed before maturity you will lose the bonus and also be subject to early withdrawal penalties.
Our Verdict
You can view the rates they are offering here. This is a bad deal, let’s take a specific look to show why. If you put $5,000 into a 12 month CD you’d get a $10 bonus and earn 1.15% APY, other CDs are offering 2.1% APY.
- Total earned with VyStar Credit Union: $10 bonus + $57.5 interest earned ($67.5 total)
- Total earned with 2.1% APY CD: $105 total

Hat tip to reader JuicyJosh
Best 100k 5yr cd rate?
2.62%
+
$1000 (1%)
Rate for 100k cd is 3.62%.
Best in a country. I think.
Even for 10k 5yr cd you get effective rate of 3.52%.
It seems to offer the best effective rates(by big margin) on some 4 and 5 yr cds in the country.
So looks like a great deal looking at it purely as a cd…
I can make more than $1000 from checking account bonuses over 5 years than tying up $100,000.
The title is missing a “t”. It is Vystar.
Fixed, thanks.
