Thank’s for posting. On both, 5K and 10K, for 1Y the effective rate is then 3.85%. Bonus taxable? For one-person-account.

Just bought one for myself and one for my husband. It's one per membership. I like this promo.

The bonus of $50 or $100 is added upfront to the principal amount invested @ 2.85% p.a., so for one year on $5k or $10k, the yield is actually 3.88% p.a., BUT, the effective yield is even higher because the rep claims the bonus amount of $50 or $100 is not interest, so it is not taxable.

I will leave the answer of that $50 or $100 bonus not being taxable to others.

BUT I would hazard to guess. Nothing in life is free, you will need to declare that bonus as income.

Bonuses I have received at other FIs were not taxable. They're considered like gifts.
