Keesler Federal Credit Union has a great offer for a 7-Month CD. You can earn a 5% APY and there’s no maximum balance restrictions. A great offer, but there’s a catch. It is limited to only a few counties in MS and LA.

Guru’s Wrap-Up
A great offer but you need to live in the limited area listed above and become a member. If you qualify then you could earn a rate of 5% for 7 months, which is much higher than any other bank out there with no limits. Just make sure that you move your money once the 7 months are up since you will just get the regular rate after that. And I doubt it will be anywhere near 5%.
