Our Verdict

There’s a somewhat similar bonus from Capital One for new customers. The deal described here is for existing customers, and it’s only been sent out to select people; no luck for me, but seems it does seem to have been sent out widely (possibly to those who are active in their 360 savings account).

I love these kinds of deals for existing customers – we’ve seen similar ones from Ally, Marcus, etc – since you already have the account set up and it’s easy to add the funds. These deals aren’t necessarily an incredible value, but cash sitting around in a high yield savings account, a deal like this can spruce up your returns. The 360 savings account already offers a competitive 1.5% APY return, and this bonus will get you an additional 3-4% APY for the few months necessary to get this bonus.
