$250 WT Direct Signup Bonus – Expiring Soon

Written by Nickel - Leave a Comment

In case you missed it, WT Direct is currently offering a bonus of up to $250 as part of their Winter Bonus Blast promo. But you had better act fast — the offer expires on 12/31/08.

Here’s the scoop… They’re currently paying 3.06% APY for accounts with a balance of at least $10k as well as the aforementioned bonus for new account holders. The amount of your bonus will be based on your average daily balance from 1/1/09 through 2/28/09, as follows:

$10,000 = $50 bonus
$20,000 = $100 bonus
$30,000 = $150 bonus
$40,000 = $200 bonus
$50,000 = $250 bonus

Getting the bonus

1. Open an account with WT Direct using the promo code WTG3DNC
2. Fund it by initiating an online transfer before 12/31/08
3. Maintain an eligible average daily balance through Jan/Feb
4. Your bonus will be deposited in your account in mid-March

There are no fees associated with this account, and there is no minimum balance requirement, though you have to keep at least $10k in place to get a decent APY. You also have to keep an average of at least $10k in the account through Jan/Feb in order to qualify for the bonus. If you’re looking for a high yield savings account and can meet the requisite thresholds, you should definitely check it out.
