It's important to compare savings account interest rates because you want to be getting the highest annual percentage yield that you can get on your bank accounts. A certificate of deposit is also a good option for funds that can lock away. You should always wait for the best CD rates to do this though because once you put your money into a CD, you can't get it out until the CD matures.

Bank Bonuses are a great way to earn an additional $100- $200 in alternative income per offer. Many reputable banks such as Chase and Bank of America offer $100 Checking Bonuses or $75 Savings Bonuses.
