It's military appreciation month over at Navy Federal Credit Union. One of there offers this month, that I'm pretty sure we will take advantage of is a 15 month certificate at 3% interest. We can put up to $10K into the certificate.
If anyone is currently a member or has the eligibility, you can check out the other offers
There is some fine print that is important, including the need to have a DFAS allotment or DFAS direct deposit of net pay. We have another certificate that requires this so we have $25 deposited as an allotment to our savings account at NFCU each month.
We currently have two certificates at NFCU equal to $10,000. We are earning 3.5% on one through the middle of August, and 3% on another through October of this year. This will help replace those great rates that expire later this year. Hopefully, there will be another offer later in the year so I can get some more of our money into higher interest CDs.
I did order the Brinks Prepaid card with the intention of taking advantage of their 5% offer. Unfortunately, it seems the conditions have changed a bit since I read about it online. I can be more specific later (I just don't have the info in front of me at this moment). I'm going to try NetSpend instead, if anyone has a referral for that one, put it in the comments for me.
