Our Verdict
This offer was sent out to many/most of us via email (subject: <your name> how’s an extra $200 sound?), but not to everyone. (I’m not aware of any signup bonus from Discover for new accounts available at the moment.) I love these kinds of offers for accounts I already own since it’s an easy transfer to get the bonus.
Discover always offers a pretty decent savings APY rate on their savings account and so there isn’t any downside to tying up your funds in the account for 1.5 months. Easy win for someone with the $15k/$25k cash.

11/24 $200 Account Promo posted
Pretty good offer with competitive interest gained. Leaving a few bucks in account to marinate for next round of promo to come around.
never had a bank pay a bonus on a weekend, but got it Saturday 11/23 like others.
Bonus credited 11/23/2024
Interestingly, the bonus posting date is tomorrow, 11/24/2024 even though the money is now available.
Yup. Same here including the future posting date.
Just received email: “Woo Hoo! Your Savings Boost Bonus is on the way. Your bonus will be credited to your account by 11/30/24”
I got the same email today. I pulled my funds out on November 5th.
Have kept my funds in just to be safe but they really are waiting until last minute to pay this out it seems.
Today being November 1st, I’m thinking based on the language we can pull the funds out now.
Yep. The offer and subsequent email confirming hold amount both say maintain thru 10/31 so should be clear.
Yes but if you don’t have an external account that allows same day pull, wait until Monday so you don’t lose out interest for the weekend (4% APY at Discover is still better than nothing). Jeremy
Fantastic! Thank you for the advice. Will pull back to Fidelity CMA on Fidelity side.
Pulled my funds out today per the terms. Now wait to see if it takes the whole month for the bonus to post.
If I’m reading this correctly, I can pull the funds out on 1 NOV and expect to receive the bonus on 30 NOV, right?
Just got a confirmation email: “[firstname], you’re close to earning your bonus”.
For the $100 or $200 bonus, just a reminder that deposits have to be NEW FUNDS. Do not deposit into Discover Checking and transfer to Savings. It will not count.
Wish I would have seen this comment earlier. Pulled into a diff savings account since it was already linked & transferred internally to the targeted account. I didn’t get the “… You’re close to earning your bonus” email either. We’ll see.
