Update 2/11/21: Offer has expired early.

(Update 2/1/21: Just a quick note: I enrolled when the offer came out with the plans on funding before 2/12/21, then realized that you only get 10 days from enrollment to fund, so be sure to only enroll when you are ready. I was not able to re-enroll by clicking through the link again, but using the enrollment link received via email, I was able to re-enroll, and I got an email indicating my enrollment is good and have 10 days from today to fund.)

Our Verdict

Marcus offered a similar deal in March 2019, then in January 2020, and now in January 2021; they also offered a $500 deal in July 2019. It’s worth holding a Marcus account as the bonuses all seem to be for new or existing customers.

Locking up $10,000 for 90 days and getting $100 is a APY of roughly 4%, added to their regular .50% interest rate (see Best Savings Rates) for a total 4.50% return. Pretty nice offer, especially if you already have a Marcus account open. I plan on doing this one.

You can always get an extra .10% APY from Marcus if you are an AARP member, and new Marcus members can sign up with a referral link and get an extra .20% APY for 3 months which stacks nicely with the $100 bonus (both deals can stack for a bonus .30%). Do not leave your referral link in the comments below, you can find and leave links in this dedicated post.
