Heads up, military families! Navy Federal Credit Union is offering a sweet $200 bonus to new members who open a 12-month Special EasyStart Share Certificate. This offer is valid until November 30, 2025, so you have a little time to jump on it. Membership is generally open to those in the military, DoD employees, contractors, and their immediate family, so check if you qualify. To snag the bonus, you'll need to become a Navy Federal member, open the specified certificate, and deposit a minimum of $5. The $200 bonus will then be deposited into your Membership Share Savings Account by February 28, 2026. The account needs to stay open and in good standing during that time. There are no monthly fees to worry about. Why is this important? Free money! Bank bonuses are a fantastic way to pad your travel fund. While the bonus is taxable, it's still a pretty easy way to earn some extra cash. Plus, Navy Federal is a well-regarded institution, so it's a win-win. If you're already a member, spread the word to eligible family members who could benefit!
