Requirements

Last verified: Jul 13, 2026

  1. Open an account

    Open a new Barclays Tiered Savings account through July 31, 2026. There is no minimum deposit to open.

  2. Deposit $25,000 in new funds

    Fund the account with at least $25,000 within the first 30 days of opening. Multiple deposits from other banks are fine as long as they all arrive within the 30 days.

  3. Hold $25,000 for 120 days

    Maintain a balance of at least $25,000 for 120 consecutive days. The clock starts once the $25,000 is deposited.

The $200 is added to the account approximately 60 days after you maintain the $25,000 balance for 120 consecutive days.

Tips & Gotchas

  • A withdrawal that drops the balance below $25,000 can cost you the bonus, so leave the full amount parked for the whole 120 days.
  • The account earns up to 3.65% APY while you wait, on top of the $200.
  • Current and previous Barclays savings or CD customers are not eligible. This includes the old AARP savings offers.
  • No direct deposit is required at any point.
