Advantis Credit Union has a certificate promotion with two good deals: a 4.40% APY 5-month CD and a 4.20% APY 10-month CD. The minimum deposit is $5,000, and it requires money new to the credit union. This promotion doesn't seem to be listed at the credit union's website. A reader mentioned this, and I just called for additional details. The CSR said there's no maximum deposit, and she didn't know how long these special CDs would last.

Membership is open to anyone living, working, or is an organization located within Benton, Clackamas, Columbia, Hood River, Lane, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Washington, and Yamhill counties in Oregon. You also be eligible to join if a family member is eligible for membership. Please refer to the Advantis membership page for details. Membership requires a minimum $5 balance in the regular savings account.

High Yield Reward Checking

Advantis also has a reward checking account that currently pays 5.50% APY on balances up to $30K. I first reported on this reward checking account in October when the yield was 6.25%.

Branches are located in Portland, Oregon. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 62659). It has $497.9 million in assets and 33,237 members.

Thanks to the reader who emailed me this CD promotion.
