Hi Josh, I am looking for the same – would like close out both of these acccounts, but don’t want any negative consequences.

Any close DPs on these 3 accounts? Been open for a month and bonus received. Withdrawing down to $0 this week. Article mentions no ETF just looking for anyone’s personal experience.

Thought I’d share a distinct datapoint – I’ve been paid on AAII and Discover but NOT AAA.

Prolly just means they’re taking some time, and we’ll all get paid by the 30th as per terms, rather than a problem with a specific acct. Will update!

I was paid out on the AAA and Discover on 11/18, but not the AAII.
Hoping it posts on the 30th! Will update as well.

Same here. Looks like Discover was just a little slow to pay out on their own Discover-branded accounts. Awesome $1,200 haul (~$900 after tax) between me and my wife. Doc and Will – you guys are the best!

It’s a good reminder that this will count as taxable interest, so depending on your tax bracket you may want to hold some of the bonus aside for paying the tax on this come April 2018.

What’s best way to move all of the money out of these accounts without paying fees?

Transferred 8k and moved between accounts to meet 20k treshhold on each.
AAA/AAII met 20k treshold on 11/2 – bonus 11/20
Regular savings met 20k treshold on 11/2 – no bonus yet.

Bonuses posted for AAII and AAA, but nothing for regular Discover Savings account. I’ve never had a discover savings account. I deposited 5k and moved them between accounts in a single day and repeated over 4 days. Then I started letting the 5k rest in different accounts for a day. Opened on 11/2

Ditto for 2nd player wife mode. Except I only opened AAII and AAA with that one since discover wanted some interaction for the regular account.

Bonuses posted for AAII and AAA, but nothing for regular Discover Savings account. Seems to be a common theme based on a few of the comments above. I don’t believe I’ve ever had a Discover Savings account so I think I should have qualified for the bonus. Think I’ll give it a few more days and see what happens before inquiring with Discover.
