Hello, I had purchased a 180 day non-redeemable GIC @5.5% on July 16, 2024. I just noticed that the maturity date is Jan 16, 2025 which is 184 days. I pointed out to the Duca rep that they should correct the maturity date to Jan 12, 2025 (to correspond to the 180 da) or pay me interest up to Jan 16, 2025. The Duca rep said that since the dates were machine generated there was nothing that she could do about it and that I will be paid interest for exactly 180 days even though DUCA will have my money for 4 extra days. The 4 days interest represents approximately $450. I requested to speak to a supervisor but was told that there was a Christmas party and that no one was available and that I should follow their complaint process.
Did I just step into a bizarro universe? Your thoughts please.

Suggest you find (ask Duca to send to you) and read the Terms and Conditions for the GIC you purchased. You will then know what should happen.

Looks like I am in the same boat. I purchased two of these, on July 24, and July29, respectively. The maturity dates show Jan 24, and Jan 29-- as you point out, 184 days. I can't even see on the duca site what the amount of the interest payout will be

Checked the DUCA thread topic here, I can see there was a 6-Month 5.5% GIC in July

There are 184 days for the 6 months starting in July because the months of July, August, October and December have 31 days.

When I inquired about buying this, it had been advertised as a 6 month gic.
As soon as I purchased it, it was referred to as a 180 day td
It shows on my account status as a 180 day td
I did not note the change in terminology, at the time

Are you sure about the $450? That means you have almost $750,000 in the GIC at DUCA. In that case, I agree the 4 days is material. Of course, January 12th is a Sunday...
I also have the 6 month GIC but was annoyed that I had to call in to make sure it does not automatically renew.

When I bought the gic/td, I left under the impression that it would mature into my promo savings account
However, when I wrote them to double check recently, I was told no can do
Can only put it into checking account, or the 0.30 savings account
