Are they covered by CDIC ?
The website of Simplii is showing a link to "CDIC Deposit Insurance Information" (last line) (ref: https://www.simplii.com/en/home.html )
...but...
CDIC does not list Simplii in their member section: http://www.cdic.ca/en/about-di.....mbers.aspx

Simplii is the direct banking division of CIBC....so they are covered under CIBC....so if you have accounts at CIBC and Simplii - you are only covered to a combined $100,000 between the two. It was the same arrangement when Simplii was PC Financial

So if I have money in my savings account that was P.C. financial earning the 2.5% until October 31st, will I have to transfer it out and then back in to be eligible for the 3%?
Thanks in advance.
Your out of luck... They use the closing balance of October 31 and only new deposits to bring that balance higher will count

Here are the terms
The Simplii FinancialTM promotional interest offer (the “Offer”) is available to new and existing Eligible Savings Accounts and Eligible Registered Savings Accounts (as defined below) between November 1, 2017 – February 28, 2018 (the “Offer Period”). The special annual interest rate of 3.0% is a combination of the regular annual interest rate set by Simplii Financial payable on an Eligible Savings Account and Eligible Registered Savings Accounts balance (“Regular Interest”), plus promotional interest (“Promotional Interest”) that is calculated for the Offer Period on the Additional Balance as defined below.
A. Savings Offer
“Eligible Savings Account” means a Simplii Financial High Interest Savings Account and/or Simplii Financial Savings Account. Only primary account holders are eligible for the Offer.
The Promotional Interest is calculated on the portion of the Eligible Savings Account’s average daily closing balance during the Offer Period that exceeds the closing balance as at October 31, 2017 (the “Additional Balance”) to a maximum of $500,000 in Additional Balances across all of an account holder’s Eligible Savings Accounts. If an Eligible Savings Account is overdrawn as at October 31, 2017, the closing balance is deemed to be $0.00. Promotional Interest will not be paid on existing funds that were in a Simplii as at October 31, 2017 and are transferred to an Eligible Savings Account.
Promotional Interest will be paid in March 2018 into a single Eligible Savings Account held by a primary account holder. Promotional Interest will not be paid unless at least one of the primary account holder’s Eligible Savings Account is active and in good standing as at February 28, 2018. If a primary account holder holds more than one Eligible Savings Account, Promotional Interest will be paid to an Eligible Savings Account in the following priority sequence.
to the primary account holder’s High Interest Savings Account, if it is active and in good standing; otherwise
to the primary account holder’s Savings Account, if it is active and in good standing.
In the event the primary account holder has more than one of the same account type, Promotional Interest will be paid to the oldest account that is active and in good standing.
B. Registered Savings Offer
“Eligible Registered Savings Account” means a Simplii Financial Daily Interest RRSP Account, RRSP Savings Account and/or Tax -Free Savings Account.
The Promotional Interest is calculated on the portion of the Eligible Registered Savings Account’s average daily closing balance during the Offer Period that exceeds the closing balance as at October 31, 2017 (the “Additional Balance”) to a maximum of $500,000 in Additional Balances across all of an account holder’s Eligible Registered Savings Accounts. If an Eligible Registered Savings Account is overdrawn as at October 31, 2017, the closing balance is deemed to be $0.00. You can contribute up to your contribution room. A tax applies to all contributions exceeding your contribution room. Your TFSA contribution room or RRSP deduction limit information can be found by visiting the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) web page at: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca
All Promotional Interest will be paid in March 2018 into a single Eligible Registered Savings Account held by a primary account holder. If an account holder has multiple Eligible Registered Savings Accounts, the Promotional Interest for each Eligible Registered Savings Account will be paid separately into that Eligible Registered Savings Account. Promotional Interest will not be paid into any Eligible Registered Savings Account that is not active and in good standing as at February 28, 2018.
PLEASE NOTE: Eligible Savings Accounts and Eligible Registered Savings Accounts will continue to earn Regular Interest on balances, calculated daily and paid monthly.

Details are available upon request. The Offer is non-transferable and cannot be combined with other promotional rate offers.

I got lucky, Oct.30 I transferred all my money from Interest Plus Savings to chequing(which takes a day) because the 2.5% was ending and I was going back to Canadian tire bank and so my balance on Oct.31 in savings was 0.00 so I called to ask if I would get the 3% if I moved my money back and he said yes so I'm good to go.

I am just off the phone with Simplii.
(1) I need to either send a void cheque or a form with bank stamp (which is impossible for me since there is no Tangerine branch in my city) to add an external account.
(2) Simplli consolidates the balance of all accounts including chequing on Oct.31. All fund above consolidated account balance will be considered new money eligible for 3%, so moving fund from Simplii chequing to savings won't get 3%.

Thats not what I was told about your statement #2 and the guy even left the phone to go make sure, guess I will have to call back again to verify...theirs a word missing after the word Simplii in this sentence.
Promotional Interest will not be paid on existing funds that were in a Simplii as at October 31, 2017 and are transferred to an Eligible Savings Account.
Is it suppose to say Simplii chequing account?

Yeah, you'd better to call back to verify. In the terms (post #7), it mentioned that "Promotional Interest will not be paid on existing funds that were in a Simplii as at October 31, 2017 and are transferred to an Eligible Savings Account.".

Please let us know what you find out after you call back. I'm in a similar situation as I had transferred my money out of my PC Savings Account into my chequing account as well before the 31st so that I could move it back to my EQ Bank account. However it take EQ a few days to make the transfer so it is still sitting in my chequing about as of this morning...

I would submit Tangerine's Direct Deposit Form and see if their processing department will push it through. If not, ask Tangerine to print you a Direct Deposit Form with a bank stamp and either scan & e-mail or mail it to you. 🙂

I called today and waited 15 minutes to speak to a CSR to inquire about operation of the HISA.Surprisingly, the maximum that can be withdrawn at any one time is $3,000.
Funds can be pushed using email funds transfer, which I have never done.
The $3,000 max withdrawl was the deal breaker for me.
Those limits are Interac e-Transfer daily limit. I doubt that's their bank-to-bank transfer daily limit.
Also, you can externally-initiate (i.e., push/pull) from external bank accounts that have your Simplii account(s) linked where Simplii's limits do not apply. 🙂
Cheers,
Doug
