Navy Federal Credit Union has some great sign-up bonuses this week! They include a $50 sign-up bonus and then up to $200 in investment bonuses.
Here are the three bonuses:
1.) New member bonus = $50 (see below for link)
-
- I signed up on Monday and the next day I got the bonus. All it requires is setting up a savings account. Here is a pic of the text they sent me.
This is an easy $50. In order to open an account, you have to deposit $5. I did this all online and it took about 5 minutes.
2.) $100 bonus for opening an IRA with at least $100. They have various IRA options like Traditional or Roth. They only offer certificates but they allow you to open a brokerage account which would allow you to buy mutual funds/stocks.
- I opened my account on Jan 15 and the bonus posted about two weeks later on Jan 30 (see below)
3.) $100 Bonus for rolling over an existing investment account (IRA, 401k) that has at least $5000 in it
My personal experience
I opened up an account and put $55 of my own money in the account(you only have to put in $5 however to get the bonus). The next day I got my $50 bonus. This put my account total at $100. I then used that $100 to open a traditional IRA. I put it in a one-year certificate account that earns .75% interest. They have other CD accounts that offer 3% interest but you must have a checking account also. 0.75% interest is nothing to be impressed with. However I will receive a 300% interest in one year on my original $50 deposit.
$50 deposit
