How does this bonus compare?
It’s really good if you can do it because you get a 1% bonus and you are only required to keep the funds with a partner bank for 90 days. Even if you find a simple high yield savings account, you can easily juice up your interest over such a short period of time.
No direct deposit. Short hold time. Easy.
