All good things must come to an end, but I kept piling in while it lasted -- my maturity dates all come up in April through June.

Note to the unwary -- unlike the usual GIC routine, this "150-day special" doesn't automatically renew into anything, the proceeds just go back into your registered or non-registered HISA at maturity. So if you aren't going to be happy with whatever the HISA rate is at the time, you'll need to take action

Current HISA rate - as at 190131 = 2.76%
