I hadn't had a Tangerine offer in years, but got and accepted a 5.25% offer in October 2024 thru to Dec 31. It may have had something to do with buying a bunch of Tangerine GICs in fall 2023, I'm not sure.
Received a 3.85% offer for new money Jan 8-March 31, didn't activate.
Have now received the 4.15% offer for April 3-June 30. I'm at EQ for 4% right now, so it would be interesting to know if I'd be more likely to get future top offers from Tangerine if I were to ignore this one, or activate it. Unless EQ is planning to drop their bonus premium in the next little while, Tangerine's is of minimal benefit.

I'll never know how accepting will affect my ping pong balls in future Tangerine lotteries. There's another Bank of Canada rate setting meeting this month, and with the Visigoth of Pennsylvania Avenue doing his thing, they are more likely to drop it again, and EQ and others will lower their base rate, so I suspect I may accept it, since it is 50-50 that doing so may be in my favour in the future.
But even 40bps is only something like $10/10K for those 3 months, so it isn't earth-shattering. I recently put some cash in 2-year Oaken GICs, and more is locked in at TDDI for another month.

Economists see Global Recession Odds at higher possibility if Tariffs sustained and trade war will not stop. Canada lost 33,000 jobs in March .
Then Bank of Canada will cut the rates aggressively. The Fed may do the same thing.
If I remember correctly, EQ bank's base rates were around 1 - 2% no matter that BOC cut or hiked rates, when BOC hiked the rate to 5%, EQ Bank's base rate was 2% and stayed there for a while.

Multiple scenarios. Tariffs on US are inflationary. Breaking of North American supply chains is inflationary. Recession is deflationary. US tariffs in China, Vietnam, etc are deflationary as they will be sending their products to other markets. Can’t predict the future.
I would accept this offer from Tang and put some of your money in it while staying diversified.

Due to tariff uncertainty, can’t predict the future.
Almost all economists said: BOC will balance inflation and recession, BOC will try to save economy from recession, you will pay the price for inflation.
