Here is an extract from an email I got from Tang to-day.
"The 4.75% Interest Rate Offer (the “Offer”) is only available to existing Tangerine Clients who have received this communication directly from Tangerine and who activate the Offer online by January 31, 2023. The 4.75% promotional interest rate (the “Promotional Interest Rate”) is valid from January 5, 2023 to May 31, 2023 (the “Promotion Period”) and is only available for eligible non-registered Tangerine Savings Account(s) (“Applicable Accounts”) to a maximum balance of $1,000,000 in all Applicable Accounts combined"

Looks like the upcoming January offer will be an entire-balance offer and not a new-money one:
…. A new special Savings rate is coming your way!
Very soon, you’re going to be able to earn a 4.75% special interest rate on all of your eligible non-registered Savings balances of up to $1,000,000 combined*!
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Look out for a message from us dropping in your inbox on January 5, 2023.
2. In that email, activate your offer to earn your special rate.
3. To make the most of your special rate, just keep your money right where it is.

They're just updating the dates. I wouldn't call it the January offer. These are the same terms many of us already received effective December 1st. We received the offer as an unsolicited offer (i.e., not a retention offer) from Tangerine, but yes, that is my understanding is it's an entire balance offer.
For me, I have most of my non-registered savings in the Tangerine 4.75% entire balance offer (December 1, 2022-March 31, 2023), and the remainder of cash in non-registered and registered accounts in a BNS ISA (4.25%).
Cheers,
Doug

I don't see any explicit reference to USD account. Just says "on all of your eligible account"-- without defining "eligible", as far as I can see, anyway
I'd be inclined to speculate that it does NOT include USD, since they usually mention that explicitly, when they do
I guess have to wait for the Jan 5 email, to know
But, I'll be pulling my USD out, prior to our existing 4.3% offer on Dec 31

Does "The 4.75% promotional interest rate (the “Promotional Interest Rate”) is valid from January 5, 2023 to May 31, 2023 (the “Promotion Period”)" mean that if you keep your balance from Dec. 31, 2022 that you only earn 0.01% interest for the 5 days leading up to January 5, 2023.
The offer is a new offer that starts January 5 and not an extension of a previous offer that was to end December 31.
So, one will earn only regular interest after the end of any previous offer until January 5.

My spouse received a 5% promotional interest offer from Tangerine on December 6, 2022 which runs until April 30, 2023, on amounts in excess of account balances on December 5, 2022. Accounts included are regular Savings, Tax-Free Savings, RSP Savings and US$ Savings. I was not targeted for the offer.

…
The fine print so far refers only to the capitalized "Tangerine Savings Account". That is the Canadian dollar savings account.
In contrast, when their fine print refers to the US$ one, it is the "Tangerine US$ Savings Account".

I called, CSR told me it does not apply to $US accounts

3. To make the most of your special rate, just keep your money right where it is.
So this is for all pre-existing balance on or before Jan 5 and onwards? No need to do anything when a current promotion ends on Dec 31, am I correct?
(Those of you thinking about clearing out the balance, will you move funds out of Tang altogether or just from Savings to Chequing?)
Thanks.

Yes, but you have to get the offer and activate it first. Typically, Tang does not grant successive offers to its customers.

I got the "Pssst! A special 4.75% Savings rate is coming soon" email informing me about the offer. So should I be confident that I've got the offer and will just get the activator when it's time?
I would think so. I'd just keep the current e-mail as proof.
No point moving funds out and back in that I can see. Furthermore, after looking at the banking holiday days, and add the delay after initiating transfers before funds are available to earn interest, and there are no practical options re: the Dec 31 - Jan 5 period.
