Anyone want a referral for Marcus GS high yield savings account? It’ll bump your interest rate to 5.15% (4.15% reg rate + 1% bonus) for three months, and then goes back down to 4.15% or whatever the current rate is. It’s a great deal. Hit me up!

Money markets are paying above 5 without any incentive.

Have found them to be generally higher interest. I also like having it in my investment account so if I want to buy or sell something, it’s a really easy process (not to mention benefits of consolidation). Still linked to my bank so I can move money back and forth as easy as Marcus. If there is a different money market that is paying more, I can just switch without opening new accounts.
