This is of very limited value as the vast majority of people don’t have $75k cash sitting around. But assuming you do keep in mind that you could buy $75k worth of a Fortune 50 company with a dividend yield of 4%. So that $75k would earn $750 over 90 days. I would value 60k Chase points at a higher value, so you still come out ahead, but not as much as you think.
Of course if you have $75k in stock to transfer then it is easy money. But that’s really not the blog reader demographic
Plenty of these blog readers do in fact keep up to $100K handy for these sorts of games. Or, at least at certain times throughout the year, some of us do have that much ‘sitting around’, and these sorts of things allow us to put off deciding what to do with it. You can park it somewhere and then have time to research those Fortune 500 companies and their 4% dividend — can’t just decide on a whim in that case — and if you didn’t get around to it, well by that time another offer might be around.
Exactly what happened to me: got my 1% from Ally today and now looking at HBSC (or this one). I don’t think I’m the only one.
This is a great find. Thank you for posting!
