The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Do you find raisin consistently beats your brokerage's CD rates?

CD quotes at Etrade: (for non-callable CDs)
3 yr = 4.95%
2 yr = 4.85%
1 yr = 4.65%

High-Yield CDs at Raisin
3 yr = 4.90%
2 yr = 4.85%
1 yr = 4.50%

No-Penalty CDs at Raisin
1 yr = 3.75%
1 to 6 months = 4.20%

Savings accounts at Raisin
4.20% & 4.15%

The convenience at Raisin is a big deal. Very easy one-stop shopping.
Very easy to change savings accounts to another bank, when rates diverge.

I don't know of any other place where it is so easy to find No-Penalty CDs. I don't have any right now but have in the past. A few years ago I had several 12 & 16 month NP-CDs that paid more than savings accounts.

The best non-promo-bonus savings accounts I find online using google is 4.0%, most top out at 3.5%. And at Raisin you don't have to run around looking for better rates when your bank drops their rate. Before I found Raisin I had 8(!) online bank accounts, as each one got beat by a new bank. Hate having to go thru the hoops each time I went to open a new savings account at a new bank. At Raisin it is just 2 clicks to move from one bank to another.

Use this referral code to open a Raisin account to get a $40 bonus. "rayv091474"
