CDs up to 3.39% at AA Credit Union
AA Credit Union generally has some of the higher CD rates among the more restrictive credit unions, and they still have a number of competitive CDs available:
- 1-year CD: 2.12% APY
- 2-year CD: 2.22% APY
- 30-month CD: 2.52% APY
- 3-year CD: 3.03% APY
- 4-year CD: 3.14% APY
- 5-year CD: 3.39% APY
These CDs all have a minimum of $10,000. The CDs are available with a minimum of $1000 as well, but the APYs on the CDs drop by between 10 and 25 basis points. The penalty for early withdrawal is 180 days on each of these CDs. The 3-year, 4-year, and 5-year CDs have all been the same APY for the last three months — an eternity in our falling rate enviornment — so they should be commended for being able to keep their CD rates steady.
AA Credit Union is open to anyone who works directly with the air transportation industry — not just American Airlines employees. This includes airline employees, TSA and FAA employees, baggage handlers, those who deal with airline food services, and others. It also is open to those who are retired from the air transportation industry.
The four local branches of AA Credit Union are all located on the grounds of O’Hare Airport — in Terminal 3, Concourse K; in Terminal 3, Concourse G; in the West Mezzanine Level, Terminal 3; and at 9950 W. Lawrence Ave., Suite 219.

- 4.73% APY for 36 months

7.00% CD (!) at AA Credit Union — and one more deal
AA Credit Union (American Airlines’ credit union) has a great CD deal going on — but with a couple catches. They’re offering a 7.00% APY, 12-month CD to their members in what’s called their “777 Share Certificate,” but to get that rate, you also “must have an AA Credit Union Visa® Platinum Rewards Credit Card (Credit Card) in good standing or apply and be approved (subject to credit approval) for the Credit Card.” There’s also a maximum on the CD of $7000, so that lowers its effective usefulness as well. The 7.00% rate is scheduled to continue through the end of this month.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for long-term CDs and are eligible to join AA Credit Union (more about that further down), they also have a 60-month CD that’s earning 5.61% APY with only one restriction: A $10,000 minimum. If you don’t meet that minimum, the rate drops to 5.35%.
