This is ridiculous....ides of march and still no bonus interest! No more Simplii for me.
I called Simplii earlier to-day and was told the "top-up" credit interest will be posted any day now.
I was in the previous 3.15% promotion that ended on February 28, 2019 and I asked the call centre agent about any extension or new promotions. She said "nothing for me". When I asked about other clients, she was coy and didn't give me a clear answer.

This isn't actually a 3.15% offer. It is misleading. They still haven't paid the bonus interest as of March 15 so the effective interest rate will be much lower. They will not provide an answer as to when it will be paid so they are holding our funds hostage. I will be closing my Simplii accounts as soon as bonus interest is paid, it just is no way to run the business. They think they are saving money, obviously, but in fact they will lose customers.

Someone in another forum posted that a Simplii CSR told him March 21.

The bank behind Simplii continues to do this little nickel and diming its customers to try to save a few $ that bugs me. You dont see any of the other big banks do anything like that. The "genius" that runs retail banking figure by "holding on" the bonus interest for 3 extra weeks and not paying any compound interest for 4 months, the actual rate is at least a few bps lower than the "advertised rate". This is unethical and just "fool" the less sophiscated customers in my mind.

You people must be VIPs -- just checked my account and it hasn't been credited yet
Frankly, I was not 100% sure I was enrolled back last October until I saw the interest payout yesterday ... same goes for the extension till end of June. Their confirmation process ( or lack of ) really takes a lot of faith.

After not receiving the promo interest, I called them today. I had already called them several times in March. The agent looked into my account and discovered they owed me and my wife almost $500 promo interest which they had "conveniently" forgot to pay me. They would not have paid me had I not called them. Be very careful of Simplii.

Yet another observation with Simplii on these promotional interest I simply not understand - different date on different view.
(1) According to the Transaction List on the web interface, Promotional Interest was paid out on March 21.
(2) However, when I download the PDF monthly statement for March, Promotional Interest was paid out on March 01.
It is the same pattern when I looked back on last year's March and July statments. Is it only me ?

That's normal for Simplii's promotions.
I found earlier that the website shows the posting date of the transactions. The PDF monthly statements show the effective date of the transactions.
Simplii calculated and posted the promotional interest on March 21. The promo interest is backdated to be effective March 1. So, you will receive regular interest on the promotional interest from March 1.
That also means that one may not be actually getting double interest when one pulls from Simplii at another FI. A pull from another FI on a Friday may show as posted to the Simplii account on Monday. But, the debit may be effective Friday as shown on the monthly statement.
