Discover Bank’s 12 month CD PLUS $50.00 Bonus!
BankVibe.com was just tipped off on a pretty impressive deal by Discover Bank. Currently Discover Bank is offering $50 for opening a new CD account online between now and February 28, 2009. To receive the $50 bonus you must open the account online as well as fund it with a minimum of $10,000. This is a pretty solid deal considering their 12 month CD yields an APY of 2.75%, which is currently 0.50% higher than the national average.
You must enter the Offer Code: D100740 on the online form in order to qualify (the above link will automatically fill it in for you).
Terms and Conditions:
To earn the cash offer, a minimum deposit of $10,000 in new funds must be received by March 15, 2009 and those funds must remain on deposit for at least 90 days. The cash offer will be credited to your Discover Bank account 4 to 6 weeks after the 90-day period. Offer limited to one per customer and not applicable for accounts opened via phone or mail.

This deal is a good one but it is really just a 12 month CD with a 3.25% APY. First of all to take full advantage of the bank bonus you should not put more than $10,000 (the required minimum) into this account. If you do basically you are getting a 0.50% APY on your investment right off the bat.Then combine that with the 2.75% you will accrue throughout the year and WHAMMO! you got yourself a 3.25% 12 month bank CD. I haven’t checked with other bank cd rates recently but I am pretty sure this is above the average, probably not by much though.

well bank rate has their highest 12 month cd rate at 2.98% APY…… so if the assessment Sean made above is correct in that this deal is equal to a 3.25% CD with 10k deposited then its a very good deal.
