I bond interest rates change about every six months and then a new interest rate is made each May or November. This means that a January bond adjusts each January to precede Novembers rates and each July precedes to May's rates. SO basically if you buy $5000 of I bonds before May, for the first six months you will be getting a 0.74% rate because of the date of the bond is before May first.
