Highest effective APY bank bonuses

Effective APY is the honest way to compare bonuses: divide the bonus by the balance you must hold, then annualize it over the hold period. A $300 bonus on $5,000 held for 90 days is roughly 24% effective APY, which is far better than any savings account.

A big headline number is not the same as a good deal. What matters is how much money you tie up and for how long. Sorted by effective APY, the ranking often looks nothing like the ranking by headline cash.
