It works but for me, initally twice a year I'd start a CD with the
'extra'. I know they don't make a 'lot' but they've done pretty well
over the years. Interest right now is low but it's also safe (can't
lose it) and one portion of my 'portfolio'. The rest is various levels
of risk with higher returns.
