Marcus by Goldman Sachs New Account Bonus Promotions

Marcus by Goldman Sachs is an online savings account offered by Goldman Sachs Bank USA.

You're probably familiar with the Goldman Sachs, the investment bank, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA is their more “typical” banking services. They are FDIC insured (FDIC #33124) like every other bank listed on this blog.

From time to time, they offer bonuses and for a limited time, they have one available.

The last time they had a bonus offer, it was also around this time of year, with these similar terms, and they only offered it once. So if you're interested, jump on it because it probably won't be back for the rest of the year (unless they change their minds on how they're going to run it).

Marcus by Goldman Sachs – $100 Offer

Marcus will give both new and existing customers a $100 bonus for depositing $10,000 or more into a new or existing Online Savings Account.

You just need to enroll in the offer and then, within 10 days, make the deposit. Then maintain that $10,000 amount (plus existing balance if you are using an existing account) for 90 days to get the $100.

Offer expires 2/16/2022.

How does this bonus compare?

If you are an existing Marcus customer with $10,000 sitting somewhere else, it's a great deal because you get basically 1% for 90 days – or an effective return of about 4% a year. Not bad for very little work.

If you aren't an existing customer and you've always wanted a Marcus account (and you have $10k), might as well get an extra $100 for your trouble.

If you're looking at this non-direct deposit bonus and wondering if your $10,000 might be better placed elsewhere, the answer is maybe. If you have $15,000 then you get more cash by going with the Citi Priority or Discover offer.
