- Deposit $20,000+ and get $300 bonus
- Deposit $50,000+ and get $750 bonus
- Deposit $100,000+ and get $1,500 bonus
The Fine Print
- STEP 1—Open a 360 Performance Savings account between 12:00 a.m. ET on November 1, 2023, and 11:59 p.m. ET on December 6, 2023. When you open your account, ensure the promo code FALL23 is entered in the Promo Code box.
- STEP 2—Initial Funding Period. Deposit a total of $20,000 or more (Deposit Amount) of new money from externally sourced funds (transfers between Capital One accounts will not qualify) within the first 15 days of account opening (Initial Funding Period).
- STEP 3—Hold Period. You will earn a bonus once you’ve maintained the Deposit Amount of $20,000 or more for 90 days following the Initial Funding Period. The Initial Funding Period is defined as the first 15 days from account opening, and the 90-day Hold Period does not begin until after the full 15-day Initial Funding Period.
- The amount of your bonus will be determined as follows:
- $300 bonus—The new money deposited from an external bank during the Initial Funding Period was between $20,000-$49,999.99, and you maintained that Deposit Amount for 90 days following the Initial Funding Period.
- $750 bonus—The new money deposited from an external bank during the Initial Funding Period was between $50,000-$99,999.99, and you maintained that Deposit Amount for 90 days following the Initial Funding Period.
- $1,500 bonus—The new money deposited from an external bank during the Initial Funding Period was $100,000 or more, and you maintained that Deposit Amount for 90 days following the Initial Funding Period.
- Capital One will deposit the bonus into your account within 60 days after you have completed all the requirements above, including fulfilling the 90-day holding period. If your account is in default, closed or suspended, or otherwise not in good standing, you will not receive the bonus. If at any time during the 90 days following the Initial Funding Period your Deposit Amount drops into a lower tier, you will be rewarded that tier’s cash bonus. If your Deposit Amount decreases to an amount less than $20,000, you will not qualify for a cash bonus. This offer cannot be combined with any other 360 Performance Savings account opening offers. Only one promotional code is accepted per account. Bonus is only valid for one new 360 Performance Savings account. Bonuses are considered interest and will be reported on IRS form 1099-INT.
- If you have or had an open 360 Performance Savings, 360 Savings, 360 Money Market, Savings Now or Confidence Savings account as a primary or secondary account holder with Capital One on or after January 1,
20212022, you will be ineligible for the bonus. If your account is in default, closed or suspended, or otherwise not in good standing, you will not receive the bonus. - All bank account bonuses are treated as income/interest and as such you have to pay taxes on them
Avoiding Fees

This account has no monthly fees to worry about
Early Account Termination Fee
There is no early account termination fee
Our Verdict
This account earns 4.3% APY, ends up being 10.4% APY over the bonus period once when you take into account the bonus but obviously only lasts for 90 days. Still worth doing for a lot of people and much better than the previous $1,000 bonus and better than other high interest savings rates. We will add this to our list of the best savings bonuses.

i’ve had a 360 checking account open for several years, would that make me ineligible for the bonus? (i deposited 50k into a new cap one 360 performance savings account 3 months ago using external funds). thanks for any help
You’re allowed to have a checking account and it can coexist with the Savings bonus, borned_of_an_egg. You just cannot collect the checking bonus if you have an existing checking account.
Per terms: If you have or had an open
as a primary or secondary account holder with Capital One on or after January 1, 2022, you will be ineligible for the bonus. If your account is in default, closed or suspended, or otherwise not in good standing, you will not receive the bonus.
Definitely ineligible with an existing account, they seem to exclude prior customers based on calendar year so might want to close by the end of a year if you want to churn.
Sorry S, but I strongly disagree.
My P2 Bonus payout DP:
https://www.doctorofcredit.com/capital-one-300-1500-savings-bonus-requires-20000-100000-deposit/#comment-1821084
My P2 and I both did the savings bonus as an current Cap One checking customers. We had our Cap One checking accounts for YEARS and just closed it last month.
Sorry, I misread the question, thought they were asking about the same account type (existing checking customer going for the checking bonus, not savings)
Closed within app as the bonuses are based on year so hopefully I can do this bonus again in 2-4 years.

Deposited $100k on August 30th. Planning to withdraw this Monday. Timing works out right? Just don’t want to make a stupid mistake.
Let me know the date that you opened your account also and then I can re-check your math.
Opened Aug 26
It’s too early to withdraw. You should wait until 12.10.24 to withdraw any money as that is 106 days after account opening.
Ah ok! Thank you.
Might be obvious but can anyone confirm that cash deposits at an ATM count as new money for this promo?
It should. Per terms:
What are considered externally sourced funds?
Capital One considers externally sourced funds as any funds that are deposited into your account from a source that is not affiliated with Capital One, such as another financial institution.
Usually offers like this say something like funds currently not on deposit at xyz bank is considered new money….
But, if you are worried about it, call/chat/SM and ask the bank, or just deposit the cash into another bank and transfer it in. Francisco The more difficult you make the tracking of deposited funds into the account, the higher chance of an issue occurring.
True, it’s much easier to just deposit at another bank and transfer in the funds instead of dealing with an issue down the line. Thanks for the info!
