Analysis
Discover has run a similar promotion in the past. Yes, this money is taxable, but considering that you don’t have to keep the money in the account, you are earning a good interest in a very short period of time. But the account also has a decent 1.5% APY.
The total of $15K or $50K doesn’t have to be completed in one deposit and some have cycled the same money in and out of the account. It’s pretty straightforward and worth it in my opinion if you have the money available.
Conclusion
We see this bonus extended continuously. This is a good bonus if you have $50K to deposit into your new account. The bonus is available nationwide and can be easily opened online. Make sure the promo code is entered. Only those who have never had an account will be eligible.

Thought you could do this again if after a couple years or so of already having one…
For Discover, if you had an account, are you forever barred from opening another account and obtaining a bonus?
I did this in April. APY currently is 2.1%
Comment:yeah it was probably a typo error
Fixed – thanks!
I am seeing a $25,000 minimum deposit for the $200 bonus, not $20,000 as in the article.
