That sounds pretty consistent - 2.7 or so, but I think a 2% money market is a better cash equivalent. Still liquid - I'm not sure I want to lose flexibility for 7 tenths of a percent.

No CDs, but Wealthfront has a 2.57% high interest savings account.

Yeah I was going to recommend this. You can find Money Market's for over 2%, if a CD considerably under 3% I'd go with a money market.

FWIW I have both. 0.5% difference is significant in the Looooong term but we are talking short term her.

But 0.5% is not worth tying up money for the long term.

Certainly mostly agree. I mean 0.5% is worth billions of dollars in the grand scheme of things. And with a CD you really aren't "tied" up, you can always get your money out you usually just lose any interest you made. Also, a 1 year or 18 month CD is not tied up for that long. If you have no plans for your money for that long OR even better reason to demotivate you from touching it....

I agree though a money market that's within 0.5% is likely better

You don't lose all the interest. I think it is the last 60 or 90 days of interest for CDs under 3 years.
