WT Direct Up To $150 Bonus Savings

If you have a pile of cash looking for a lucrative home, you might consider opening a WT Direct savings account that gives you a cash bonus.

Deposit $50,000 in a new WT Direct savings account before July 31, 2009, leave it there until October 31 and WT Direct, the online banking division of Wilmington Trust in Wilmington, Del., will add $150 to your account.

But you don’t have to have $50,000 to earn rewards. Your bonus is based on your balance from July 31 through the end of October.

Tiered bonuses begin with $25 for a $10,000 deposit, and increase by $25 with each additional $10,000 deposit. You earn $50 for $20,000, $75 for $30,000 and $100 for a $40,000 deposit.

In addition, WT Direct pays a current yield of 1.76% on any balance for the first 60 days. But if your account falls below $10,000 after the introductory period you earn a next-to-nothing 0.15% APY.

Compare this offer with the best savings and money market account rates from hundreds of other banks in our extensive database.
