Until the end of this month, you have a chance to lock in a 9.62% rate for six months, October through March, on up to $10,000 in savings, if you purchase a Series I savings bond

Inflation is soaring, markets are down and savings rates are still very low. But there’s one investment that offers a nearly 10% return for the next several months. But you’d need to act quickly.

While interest rates have been rising this year, they are not nearly high enough to beat inflation, which was pacing at 8.2% year over year through September.

Individuals may only purchase up to $10,000 in I bonds electronically in a calendar year. In addition, you may purchase up to a $5,000 paper I bond if you use your federal tax refund to buy it. The catch with I bonds is this: To get the full amount of interest, you have to hold the bond for at least five years. You can cash it in any time after the first year, but you will sacrifice three months of interest if you do so before the fifth year.
