Good to see some banks are starting to go up almost as quickly as they'll go down with the rates.

Elevault is the highest APY for HYSA that I’ve seen. It’s at 4.27%.

I’m still at 3% at capital one. Seriously thinking of the X one for 6%.

Not mine, I just called and checked money market accounts and found they are at 2.5%. Change incoming, think I may just move it into fidelity looks like they are 3.7 or so today.

Damn Im the only one using X Money? I was an early invite, the 6% interest + 3% cash back on most things is really nice.

I have contemplated it but I am not sure it is worth the hassle. I'm not convinced they are long term rates and my concern is the rates plummet after a bit and then going through the hassle of changing again.

Yeah and actually when i think about it you sort of need a use case for it.

I use X / Grok all the time so its worth it for me, but the fact is you basically are subsidizing your own rate. So Its worse than an HYSA until 25k or so, then you're getting more like 5%+ back. Since they aren't doing the usual BS of burning through venture capital money and then drop the rates once they run out, they are running a self-funding loop with the goal of breaking habits and they are well aware thats going to take a hell of a lot longer than a 90 day promo.

I put a lot of spare cash into it to beat the math and i've been happy with it so far. The no-thinking-required 3% back on just about everything is also quite nice.
