The 2% offer only applies to the Canadian Dollar Manulife Advantage account, a combined chequing and savings account.
Withdrawing all the funds will cause minimum monthly balance to fall below $1,000 for that month. There will be ATM withdrawal and debit card fees. However, transferring out and pre-authorized debits are still free.

Please note when you log-in to your Manulife account, you will see two options to open a new account. The correct option for the 2% promo is the one on the right.BTW: I made the near fatal mistake of initialing choosing the option on the left. Fortunately, we caught this mistake when I called Manulife and spoke to a live human.
To get the promo you dont login into ur existing manulife account you open a new one no?

What the.. way i did new advan account not logged in asked for soft credit check promo got. When i loggin i can open another promo acct it seems
I did the same thing on my first attempt and the system opened two new accounts. I called Manulife Bank and spoke to a human who said that neither one of those two accounts qualify for the 2% promotion.
On my second attempt, I logged in and chose the option on the right and that worked.

I had 1 account with them from 2 years ago when they had the new account promo back then. Closed it Jan this year.
Looks like I need to reapply as if I am a brand new customer, as the access card is no longer valid either.
Guess I will wait till around mid Jun to apply for new account, since Tangerine will end Jun30.

The access card can handle only two accounts so I had to close one of my older accounts in order to accommodate the new advantage account opened for the current promotion.

What would be the purpose of opening 2 promo accts?
The promo is for 2% for max of $250K new funds - whether you have it in one new account or in two new accts. You cannot get 2% on the excess over $250K.

The two accounts I opened in error were cancelled by the live agent.
I then logged back in and chose the option on the right to open the new Advantage account when I click on that account it did show the 1.85% plus 0.15% and the start and end dates.

The agent said if it shows 1.85 + .15 it means ur gettin 2. If second account shows then maybe it's 2% in each

Agent said supervisor said one account per customer can apply. I asked what if apply for two his response u could try.. has anyone tried two promo accts without agent assistance? I might next month let u know
Same as you I also asked an agent about increasing the $250,000 by opening a second account. He said that would work only if it is in a different name than the first one.
I guess one could try and open a second Advantage account. The risk is that one might discover later that the funds earned only 0.15% interest.
