I sent Alliant a secure message last week and received the bonus in my savings account as well.

Is Alliant down for anyone else? can’t get in on website or app. Usualyl they have a banner at the top when it’s down for maintenance…
Down for me also.
Thanks for the data point.
I sent a note to Alliant asking why I should keep an account there, pointing out the interest rates and I now have checking and savings at over 5% at another institution. The main reason I’ve kept Alliant is because of the 2.5% card and automatic payments there. One is required to keep $1K in checking at 0.25% to maintain the card. That’s a loss of $50 in interest per year.
At the moment it’s still worthwhile and I’ve kept savings because it’s easy to pay the card from there, and I have an automatic withdrawl from savings. I might move savings entirely, keeping minimum deposits, and keep the checking account for the card.
No reply to the note.

Sometimes Alliant does have competitive CDs. I bought Alliant CDs about half a year ago.
But I currently only have a buck each in the savings and checking account.

I do have a CD. Lately their CDs are quite competitive.
I keep $1K in checking.
The minimum balance to earn interest is $100 for all savings account according to the last rep. and the site.
You are right about the $5 in the savings account.
I had always used an Alliant supplemental savings account that I forgot about the main membership savings account. Its the supplemental savings account that i have a dollar in. I don’t use the main savings account because it always bothers me that the available balance is always $5 off from its balance.
I didnt know you only need $25 to earn interest in the supplemental savings account.
Correction: I was re-informed you have to keep $100 average daily balance to earn interest in all Alliant savings accounts.
You might get the “we closed your account letter” after the next annual meeting.

I keep an account so that I have a place to process the few times a year I need to make a cash deposit.
Otherwise I agree - there are greener pastures for your cash.

What’s special about them for your cash? They don’t have any branches, do they?
They’re a credit union and so I can deposit cash at any co-op ATM.
Noting really special about them other than that. They’re my only credit union account at the moment.

Anyone else had fraud on their Alliant credit card lately? I think this happened to me a few years ago but I can’t remember for sure.
I had issues with ACH fraud a few years ago, but nothing since. Looking at my accounts, all seems well.

Ouch! To answer your question, no. To confirm what I thought I read, you’re talking about an Alliant Visa card , and not an Alliant debit card, or of some other flavor.
