RHB Bonus Saver has no other conditions after 12 months. Fantastic account for day-to-day use.

RHB Smart has too many restrictive conditions. Read the conditions first.

So, if hit 2.75. will stagnant for 2.75 if we continue to deposit 500 monthly correct? Will be got beyond 2.75?

And if miss will drop to 2.65 only rite?

Yes.

The 2.75% is a marketing gimmick. If you have on-going additional 500, put it into FD with at least around 3% rather than the 2.75%.

My RM shared that there's a new type of saving account from Citibank called "Citibank AcceleRate Savings Account - High Interest Savings Account"

URL: https://www.citibank.com.my/english/deposit...SavingsAccounts

The 4.38% is capped at RM 30k

Looks interesting.

Not really.
The base rate is 0.5%
The bonus rate is 4.38% capped at RM 30k is only meant for incremental fresh fund.

From an initial quick read, it looked interesting.

With another look, doesn't look like it: "higher than the previous month's".

For now, I'll stick to RHB Bonus Saver.

that's a way to beat it
month 1: 30k, earn 4.88%p.a
month 2: withdraw to ocbc 360, earn 4.1%; citi earns 0 takpe
month 3: put that 30k back to citi, earn 4.88%
rinse and repeat

Currently, there are many FD offerings at around 4.1% to 4.3%.

This "beat it" method with not earn much more. For RM100k, that's probably RM100 or so per annum.

The "beat it" method (thanks for the name) 24/7 offers accessibility, while FD, you will burn all the interest upon touching it

And, a dude told me that, HSBC perks at work has the similar trait for 5%, so rotating between these 2 accounts, will potentially make 4.94% per annum.

I'm not talking about accessibility.

My post was about returns (ROI), which works out to be roughly RM100 per annum. Accessibility is up to each individual to decide. Including whether "burning" applies to their individual circumstances or not.
