    I always appreciated Bask Bank for the instant transfers out and the immediate credit when transferring in. Recently, transfers in on a Thursday aren't credited until the following Monday, even though the money is drawn. I may go somewhere else.

    Savings Rates

    I finally transitioned from the American miles earning account to the interest savings product. The savings rate became so high that it made sense, even vs 2 miles per $. I had been very happy with Bask already as a mileage account and am happy as an interest account. The transition was not seemless (needed to call). That is my only complaint and since it doesn't affect most I give it 5.

    I've been with Bask for a long time now. I first opened with them before the pandemic to earn American miles instead of a low rate. I continued through the pandemic and racked up enough American miles to meet all of me and my wife's travel needs for the next decade. Moved over to the savings account a couple months ago as rates began climbing. Never a problem or even a concern. Now planning to take out a CD with them. I'd recommend it to anyone.
