Citibank Maxigain Savings Account

[touchring1]

BOC needs min credit card spend to hit certain percentages, similar to OCBC. DBS more straightforward, I've already got salary, CC and home loans with them, so that's 2.2% on 50k. Take 6 months to build a bond ladder and I can get another 2.4% on the next 50k, so that will cover 100k of savings which is more than enough cash for me now.

Yup, what bond ladder? I thought just put in 100k can Liao?

Dbs multiplier. Bond ladder is buy just $500 or whatever amount of SSB bond for 6 mth, then it will auto run itself for 10 years. That will hit the dbs multiplier invest criteria for 10 years...

Hurray! Some bros are right indeed, the bonus interest paid is based old T&Cs LOL

Hmm how much was ur balance? I left $15k in the account in Dec and I gotten $44 interest.

But thanks for reminding me in the drop to 6 counters not 0. Wanted to close account if it takes 12 month to step up. Now, lemme think again.

to clarify, the Bonus was calculated on 0.6%, per the old TnC, (not 0.3%), after dropping to Counter 6 due to 1 Dec withdrawal

but if you have kept full balance in Dec19, then u can still get 0.3% Bonus interest for Jan20 of about $37 leh .. so maybe close on 1 Feb 2020 ?

[maumu]

is it possible to FAST out the full 150k in one day? daily limit is 200k right?

 

[tmkedmw]

Ya. I FAST out all and just leave $1 on 1st Dec in maxigain.
My interest credited on 31Dec is almost $80.

Just wondering those whose balance is zero dollar on 1st Dec, do they get bonus interest?

Citi called me this month, asked why I do so many transactions instead of transfer in one lump sum. I said citi system problem lah!
