First, your aim is to maximize the highest effective rate. That means you double the 5% birthday/partner promo jars to 10%. I computed the figure to be 36.60 MYR.

Then, you move to the next highest effective rate, i.e., the normal saving jars, you seek to double the rates from 3.6 to 7.2%, I computed the figure to be 50.84 MYR per pocket for a total of 8 pockets maximum = total 406.72 MYR.

Lastly you double the DSA rate from 2.5% to 5% = magic number is 73.20 MYR.

--------------------------------------

After this, you dump all your remaining money back into the 5% birthday jar and promo jars up to the maximum limit possible. Remember, for the special jars, anything above 36.60 MYR will earn 5% p.a. (the marginal interest rate).

After you hit the limit for all special jars, dump 1006.50 MYR into GX Bank to earn the 4% effective rate.

If there's anything leftover, you then dump the rest into the normal saving jars (for effective rate of 3.6% p.a.)

If all 8 saving jars at BoostBank are full, you go down the "effective rate chain" further and move money to Rize (3.3%).

Further down you have TnG Go+ of around 3.4% p.a., and further down you have AEON Bank 3% -> BoostBank DSA 2.5% p.a. (anything above 73.20 MYR earns marginal rate of 2.5% p.a.) -> GX Bank 2% p.a. (anything above 1006.50 at GX Bank earns marginal rate of 2% p.a.).

Sorry, I am just abit confused. To clarify, I have placed 25k in the Bitthday and all 4 shopping jars (125k intotal over 5 jars). Have not unlocked the celcomdigi jar, planning to do that tomorrow and place another 50k in.
So, thats all the 5% ones done. Am I on the right track here?

Then put 1006.50 in Gx over 11 pots, including main. And after that start putting the rest into normal saving jars in Boost? Those have a limit?

After that only do I consider TnG Go+ and Rize?

So sorry for this. Just hope I can clear things up and go about it efficiently, thanks.

Err how do you know it's full? I login to the app and it seems like I can still add money in it? There's no notification on the "fullness" of the jar?
*
When I check under Jars in the app, the CelcomDigi jar is there but its not unlocked and no" Add Money" option showing. When I press into it, just shows the "CelcomDigi Jar Limit Reached" page. When I called support, she also said product team told them the offer hit limit cap already this morning.

Maybe for those that have unloced the jar, its still available but no more new depositors kot.

New magic number for 8x savings jar is 57.19 now
New magic number for supermarket jar is 45.75; if putting at max is 24933.75
New magic number for celebration jar is the previous rate for saving jars: 50.84; if putting at max is 24959.17 (since we cannot exceed 25k)

Come to think of it, I might as well take some money and dump it into Aeon bank 20 savings pots. Sure its montly but, some eggs there working better than nothing lol

Ohh sorry my own mistake, i entered the amount at the "how much to save tab".

Anyhow, do i need to bother with special jars tab and also put in money there ?
*
That's up to you. Your money, your choice. We are just pointing out that the celebration jar rate is 3.6% at the moment and that the supermarket jar *still* exist.

Just a quick question, are we supposed to get daily interest of RM2.74 or RM2.73 from that amount?
*
Will be getting 2.73. By calculation, putting at max 25k will give us 2.73224 which will round off to 2.73.

2.74 needs 25071 which exceeds the amount possible. So better just reduce the amount to 2.725 to round off.

This is FD in disguise, but without the early withdrawal interest-forfeiture penalty that comes with most FD in conventional banks.

200 mil is a huge number, they must have realized that their promos are not attractive and they clearly need to burn more cash to attract depositors

If you do round up trick, assuming jar closes on 31st Jan 2026, from today till 31 Jan 2026 (150 days), with one cent interest daily, on the last day the effective interest rate is:

0.01*365/(55.31+1.5) = 6.42 % p.a.

So basically a 5-month FD with 6.42% p.a. with maximum principal of 55.31 MYR. For larger principals, many other alternatives exist outside there.

Yup, did the math this morning when i received the notification about the jar. The clause really killed it for me. Might be "attractive" for small sums but for 100k? It's a joke.

By rough calculations, it technically is a profit of 6.6% with 55.31 but i'm not going risk it.

Might just throw 55.31 in there and forget about it till end of Jan next year. The only danger is if i accidentally move money out when doing other transactions laugh.gif
