Marcus $100 bonus
Re: Marcus $100 bonus
Thank you for posting this. I just opened an account to take advantage of the offer. I like the bonus tracker on the website too.

Re: Marcus $100 Bonus (2022 edition)
I don't understand this comment. Why does the Marcus account have to be a token amount before enrolling? All I would need is pull $10k out of Marcus so I could put it back after signing up. What difference does it make how much is left behind, so long as it stays there for the required 90 days?

Re: Marcus $100 Bonus (2022 edition)
if you enroll in the offer before you take your $10k out, you aren't adding $10k, you are adding back a removed $10k which is equivalent to adding $0.vectorizer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:27 pmI don't understand this comment.

In years past dates mattered and they were clear about cutoffs, perhaps they don't have such stipulations this time around.

1) Pull out $10K
2) enroll in the offer (wait a day or two after step 1)
3) put back the $10K
4) don't take any out for 90 days.
Worked last time.
If you think you might need some of the funds within 90 days take out more than the $10K in step 1.

Re: Marcus $100 Bonus (2022 edition)
The interest rate is relevant, just not to this particular bonus if that's what you mean. Lots of people have six figures in a high interest account, so they can earn the same extra $100, or more, by moving it to where they can earn a .1% higher rate for a year as is provided by the $100 bonus. So the information about the additional .1% is helpful for anyone it might apply to. It's not as big a difference per day as the $100 bonus (as I pointed out with the .05% increase), but it can matter over time, especially if you invest much more than the $10k required for the bonus.tj wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:07 pmThe interest rate is irrelevant. The $100 bonus for $10k deposit is like a 3 month 4% CD on that $100.
When you already have your $10k of savings at Marcus, you don't get to benefit from that. Maybe you don't care about that though.

Re: Marcus $100 Bonus (2022 edition)
But the point is that lots of Bogleheads do, so .1% does matter somewhat to them. There have been numerous discussions of using high-yield savings accounts in lieu of CDs or short-term bond funds, especially in the current rate environment.tj wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:56 pmOh, I definitely don't have six figures sitting in a savings accounttibbitts wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:50 pmThe interest rate is relevant, just not to this particular bonus if that's what you mean.

Re: Marcus $100 Bonus (2022 edition)
I'm going to give it a shot. In fact, I'm going to withdraw $30k from Marcus next week. I'll send $20k to buy I Bonds, then enroll in the Marcus offer, and after enrolling will send $10k back to Marcus. I might spread the Marcus withdraw, enroll, and deposit out over a few days, but I figure it's worth a shot.vectorizer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 4:54 pmWhoa, Marcus doesn't care you if you pull $10k out of your existing Marcus account into an external account (let's say Ally), then sign up for the Marcus bonus, then transfer $10k back from the same Ally account to qualify for the bonus?

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
I tried to make it a little less obvious last year by doing oddball amounts, and by channeling money through multiple linked accounts. That is, not funding directly from the same account I withdrew to. A little more legwork and time commitment, but there were no issues.
Re: Marcus $100 bonus
Ok, so I need to pull 10k out of Marcus, then enroll, then put it back it before 1/27 so I can run out the 90 day clock prior to 4/28 which is the last day to put in a buy for I-bonds before the May rate announcement. Whew!

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
$100 bonus on $10k for 3 months works out to APY of 4%. Just putting your $10k into I Bonds at the end of January will get you APY 7.12% during that same 3 month period. Why not just put the $10k into I Bonds next week? If you factor in taxes, the spread is even wider.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might not bother with the Marcus $100 bonus this year and just get some more I Bonds instead. I put $10k in before they announced the 7% rate, which is going to be a blended 5%+ rate on the $10k I purchased in late October, will be curious to see what the blended rate on the next batch will be.
Re: Marcus $100 Bonus (2022 edition)
You could also short a 20 May 2022 box trade with spread of 100, borrowing $9881 at 0.598% (as of last quote at the end of the week). Put proceeds plus $19 into Marcus, leave for 90 days to get $100 + ~110 days of 0.6% interest (assuming one has the AARP plus up) then repay loan in May with the $10K. Whether this effort if worth $100 is up to you, but it is essentially free money then.

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
Just curious - would you consider the Marcus bonus more worthwhile than the Discover bonus? It's true that Discover offers only .40% interest as opposed to .5% for Marcus, but the bonus options are larger.
https://www.depositaccounts.com/banks/d ... nk/offers/
Deal Summary: $150 or $200 bonus when opening a new Online Savings account now through March 15, 2022.
Availability: Nationwide (internet bank)
Discover’s long-running $150/$200 Online Savings bonus has been extended once again. The current promotion runs through March 15, 2022, and is available to new customers only: existing or prior Discover savings customers are not eligible.
Bonus Requirements
As stated on Discover's promotion page, the bonus requirements are as follows:
Open a new Online Savings account by March 15, 2022.
Use offer code BP122 when applying.
$150 bonus – fund with at least $15k* within 30 days of account opening.
$200 bonus – fund with at least $25k* within 30 days of account opening.
Maximum bonus is $200 per account.
Not available to existing or previous Discover savings customer.
Account must be opened when bonus is credited.
Bonus will be credited within 30 days of the account qualifying for the bonus.
*The fine print on the promotion page reads, “Deposit into your account a total of at least $15k/$25k,” implying that multiple deposits can be used to meet the $15k or $25k threshold. According to CSR, cumulative deposits are allowed, as long as they are made within 30 days of account opening.

If you look on the website is says the online savings earn .5%, which is the same as Marcus.
There's no referral bonus is there?

I also looked at Lending Club Savings, which is at .60%, but the reviews about Lending Club are pretty awful - not the savings account reviews, but the loan reviews. I'm steering clear of them - not a good vibe. Also there was a big lawsuit not too long ago that doesn't look good for them.

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
Does anyone still see a tracker? I opened mine in the first few days, an checked today and there is no tracker. I moved the 10K into my regular account. I also already had a term account at the time that matured and I had it closed a couple of days ago at maturity with the funds being moved into my regular account. I don't see this violating the terms.

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
Thanks, I see it now, I lost track of the location.
I got nervous because last year they did not post my offer due to a similar issue. I had to call them and request they give me the 100 or close the account. After a help ticket and 2 days the 100 did show up as a 'goodwill credit'. On the plus side, it did not show up on my 1099 as interest paid.

Great timing. Just transferred money back from 2x Tastyworks and 2x M1 Finance bonuses. I never closed accounts from the previous Marcus bonus. Easy $200.

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
This was timely. I just got some money put into my bank account which happens to be linked to Marcus. It isn't something I would jump through hoops for but since I already have an account with Marcus, this is pretty easy.

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
The 100$ offer is extended few more weeks
I opened an account today but I was told I have to wait full 90 days before I get the bonus . I thought it got deposited after 2 weeks . Did they just change this?
Also does Ally have any similar offers?

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
It took the full 90 days in 2021. I just checked my 2021 transactions. At exactly 90 days after my 10k deposit, I got a credit noted as "Bonus Applied".
I don't know of anything like this from Ally right now. As a matter of fact, my 10k transfer came from Ally.

I'm confused. Did you think they were going to pay you the bonus BEFORE you held the funds with them for the required period of time?
Re: Marcus $100 bonus
Every one of these offers is different. In Marcus, you have to hold for 90 days. It's always been that way. If you look at the account info it will tell you the offers(s) on your account and the exact date they end/you get the bonus.Cheez-It Guy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:33 amI'm confused.

In Discover savings, they credited my account immediately after I deposited the required amount. I assume I could withdraw it now, but I will hold it through one monthly statement cycle just to make sure - it's earning 0.5% so I can wait a month.

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
Typically the wording is something along the lines of “we have up to two weeks to deposit the bonus in your account after you meet the 90 days.” Careful with the ones that deposit right away - they often have a clawback provision if the balance isn’t maintained for some period of time- I’ve seen up to 6 months on some offers.Wrench wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:55 amEvery one of these offers is different.

Re: Marcus $100 bonus
I spoke with a Marcus rep yesterday and they didn't have a position on or issue with transferring money out of the account before enrolling in the bonus program. I'm trying to understand why Marcus does this if the net deposit may not increase. The only thing i can come up with is they basically turn the enrolled account into a three month CD. This way the block of enrolled funds company wide can be borrowed against or whatever it is they do with the deposits. Just trying to understand how this benefits the company so i can work through the ethical aspect of transferring money out and then back in.

Most people don't jump through hoops to get savings bonuses or farm credit card sign up bonuses. Some do. As long as they follow the rules, power to them.
I personally don't jump through hoops. That's just me. I'm probably in the majority. And ultimately, for me, momentum keeps my money at Marcus, and that's what they want. You are welcome.

Thanks. You're probably right. And BH are a special breed and a small group. And guess they don't care b/c users are engaging with the site (site is actually pretty nice and functions well to boot). And it gets folks talking about them. Guess the bonus is pretty close to a free lunch. Thanks again and take care.

Now that the bonus has started paying out Marcus finally raised the savings rate today from .50 to .60. I will continue with withdrawals in favor of Treasuries for the time being.

OMG. I just transferred money out of it to Barclays yesterday because Barclays pays 0.55%.

Met 90-day holding period at end of day 5/9. Bonus applied morning of 5/11 despite allowing until 5/23 in the terms / estimate. Easy. Thanks!
Re: Marcus $100 bonus
It is back again this year. Appears on my logon account.
Offer valid from 1/18/23 to 2/15/23 (“the Offer Period”).
After enrolling, you must deposit $10,000 or more in new funds from an external account into your Account within 10 calendar days of enrollment (the “Funding Period”). The Account balance plus a minimum of $10,000 in new funds (the “Required Dollar Amount”) must be maintained in your Account for 90 consecutive days from the end of the Funding Period.
Not sure it is worth it this year as the savings account is paying 3.30% and is unlikely to change during the 90 days. I have been regularly drawing down my account in favor of T-Bills.
