Upto $60 Signup Bonus from Capital One Bank for Costco Members

Capital One Direct Banking is offering special signup bonuses for Costco Members. If we sign up for a Capital One's Online Savings account, then Executive Costco Members will earn $60 as a sign up bonus while Gold Star or Business Costco Members will earn $20. This account offers an APY of 1.90% for balances greater than $10k and 1.06% for balances less than $10k. This is a fairly good APY for an online savings account if you consider our current inflation rate which is negative :).

Being Executive Costco Members, we applied for this account. Our online application went smoothly.

However it is to be noted that Capital One holds our initial funds for 10 business days before it becomes available in our accounts for any transaction. But we begin to earn interest on our funds as soon as the ACH transfer is through (though the funds may be on hold). We called their customer service about this issue and they said that it was a security feature via which they wanted to make sure that the funds were "really" available to the bank. Subsequent funds transfers will be held for 5 business days before they become available to us.

We'll keep you posted about our experience with this bonus. Meanwhile, if you have applied for this bonus, let us know how it went for you.
