After not receiving the 3.00% or 2.75% offers in January, I just got a 2.75% offer when logged in to my Tangerine account:
New deposits to your Applicable Accounts from March 5, 2019 to August 31, 2019 will earn your special rate of 2.75%
We’ll total up the balances of your eligible Savings, TFSA and RSP Savings Account(s) as they were on March 4, 2019 to get your total balances per Account Type
From March 5, 2019 to August 31, 2019, you’ll earn your special interest rate on new deposits over your total balances calculated on March 4, 2019 (up to $1,000,000 per Account Type)
The rest of your Account balance will earn the current posted rate

Thank you, Peter. I logged in and got the same offer.
Sadly, I missed the 3.3% 2 yr GIC from EQ:(. Now it's 2.85%.

So, they're back to that "new money" thing, are they?
I hope you emptied out your account, Peter.

Yeah, I agree, Loonie...I think these targeted promos and "net new money" promos generally are, finally, losing their lustre. Tangerine has been pleasantly back in the GIC market in a major way, with very compelling interest rates that are between 10 and 50 bps (0.1-0.5%) of the best available rates on the market. If people can get a comparable 1 year cashable GIC or 1 year quarterly GIC rate that's comparable (within 20-30 bps of the average of 4 quarterly targeted HISA promo offers), then I think it's just much more simple to go with that. Plus, if you're "giving up" 10-20 bps by supporting a local credit union, the profits you help the credit union to generate are generally put to a much greater use in the credit union's local community/service area. Intrinsically, you're also helping that credit union to do its part in preventing that rural area community's decay and population decline. 
Cheers,
Doug

My 3.15% on balance promo ends on March 27 2019. No new offers, but I don't expect one until at least the March 27th one terminates.

Implode, you are not alone. My tangerine promotional rate expires in April.

Alas, my promotion expired and I haven't been offered any. Time to move shuffle money out of Tangerine.

Implode, did you call them? They were willing to keep my rate at 2.5%. It's not great, but not horrible.

Tangerine is still offering 2.75% to “new” clients. What's good for the goose is good for the gander as far as I am concerned. To the pinheads at Tangerine reading this… I will without question move my funds, if I do not get that same 2.75% when my current offer of 3% ends this April 6th.

I too will move funds out if I do not get that same 2.75% when my current offer of 3% expires.

No, I had not called in yet. I got home late last night, so did not want to stay up to make the call.

I called Tangerine (just for fun, have a lot of free time) and was offered 2.5% for 6 mts. I declined that offer.

Who else is offering more than 2.5% in a savings account?

Dent Gal. Duca is currently offering 3% for 9 months. https://www.duca.com to name just one alternative. I live in Ontario, i will be looking at a credit union in another province.
I remember being intrigued by your user name before. Is the "dent" a reference to your driving, or profession?

If you're referring to their daily rate promo, it's actually good for another 10 months, to Jan 31.

Thank you, Kidd and Loonie.
"Dent" should refer to my car--I just bought a new car and someone keyed the whole passenger side:(
But it actually is my profession.

Just called in and was offered 2.0% which I declined. The CS rep then says then can send an email out to see if they can offer me a better rate, and I should hear from them in 1 to 2 business days.

I've had a nice run of spring/summer/fall/winter offers, and limited time offers, but nothing (extra) special this time...I was offered 2.5 % 1 year GIC, or 1.6%, that's it, that's all!
Respectfully declined, and will begin moving out my $'s to greener pastures (so easily moved!) I do not anticipate an email in the next few days...

Tangerine called back yesterday afternoon. The representative was able to offer me 2.3% up to 500k, but I declined it. He asked if I then needed help moving out my money as online limits it to 50k. I declined on this too, deferring it till I find what is greener.
