When the 1st of the month is a holiday or Sunday, the deposit of $500 (which has to stay throughout the entire month) made on the 1st will show the value date as the next working day.Thanks. Very helpful and I think to buy sell UT is a better option.
Just another question on the daily $500 average balance.
Let’s say I have $100k for the month of December. Means I have to put in $500 on 1st Jan and have it at $100500 all the way till the end of the month.
Assuming if my salary of $5000 comes in on the 15th of Jan, I will have $105500 that day and I need to move the $5000 somewhere asap else it will affect my overall daily average and will affect the amount I need to keep inside in Feb?
So no point making the $500 deposit on the 1st Jan 2026.
Instead make this $500 deposit on the 2nd Jan 2026.
Then additionally put in a further $500 on the 2nd Jan and remove this $500 on the 3rd Jan. This compensates for the lack of $500 on the 1st Jan (u could put this $500 on another day- instead of 2nd Jan- and take out on the next day).
Yes, you need to take out your $5k salary on same day before 9pm otherwise it increases the total amount that you keep in subsequent months to enjoy the bonuses.
