What Changed
Rakuten offers a reward for members who click its offer link, apply directly through that link and open an approved Synchrony High Yield Savings Account. Qualifying funding must come from outside Synchrony Bank. Rakuten provides the reward, and the account is reviewed for eligibility. No holding period is mentioned.
Our Take
This is worth considering if you qualify and can fund the account within the required window. Compare savings rates before keeping money there longer term, and factor in the Chex inquiry when deciding whether to apply.
