E*TRADE is offering a pretty sweet deal for new customers looking to stash some cash! Through February 28, 2026, you can snag a bonus of up to $1,000 just for opening a Premium Savings Account and parking your funds there for a bit. You'll need to deposit the money within 30 days of opening the account and keep it there for 45 days after that. To qualify, you'll also need to use the promo code SAVE100 at signup.

Here's the breakdown: Deposit $25k, get $250; deposit $50k, get $500; deposit $75k, get $750; or deposit $100k, get the full $1,000. No monthly fees apply to the account, and the savings account currently boasts a solid 3.75% interest rate, making this a double win.

Why should you care? Well, if you've got some savings sitting around, this is essentially free money! A 1% return on your deposit, on top of a competitive interest rate, is a no-brainer. Just remember that you'll need to pay taxes on the bonus, and you'll receive a 1099 form. This offer is only valid for new Premium Savings Accounts, and there's a lifetime limit of two bonuses per customer, but if you're eligible, it's worth checking out!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
