Joebart said
I just called today. No waiting on the line it was quick. First answer was no since I am on 2.5% offer. After my protest and the check on my balances I was informed the e mail was send to the team making those offers and will get the call from them in about 2 days. I will keep you posted..  

Update:
I just received promised call from Tang regarding 3% offer. They pushed GICs first but they gave me and my wife 3% for 180 days on savings which will replace current offer 2.5% but that will not include RSP or TFSA which will get a hit on interest. RSP is not big so I do not care much and I always can move TSFA to HISA even if it is taxable and can move them back in two months if that make sense.. The offer starts in two days...

1-888-600-9890 is a legitimate Tangerine Bank telephone number, they call you back from that.

Lot of scams going on these days, so you never know.  

I got a call from 416-758-5025 and it is legitimate Tang number for outbound team.. called 1-888-600-9890 and they have confirmed it...

Just got my offer via email which is a first. I haven't been promo probably over the last 8 months so i was surprised. Will work out nicely as I'm in the DUCA 3.25% till dec 3 then I will shift over.

CIBC also offering 3 % now.

rfdm4g4g9, the above link does not show this 3% interest from CIBC. I did try other links on their site and could not find this rate

It's there on the linked CIBC page. Just scroll down.

I know I should do this under another topic but rfdm4g4g9 how (email, call?) did you get notified and when TD was offering 3-3.2% ?

I have their eHiSA for 2 yrs but never get offers

Thanks

Given all the big banks are currently running 3% promotion, there are other options than Tangerine.
I wont recommend opening a new account at a big bank that you dont bank with, cuz its a hassle to try to withdraw after promotion ends. But chances are the banks that you already bank with is running a 3% promotion right now.

As I have a CIBC eAdvantage account now offering 3%, I decided to call Tangerine to see if they would match the offer (currently on 2.5% promo). I could not get through on the regular line due to long wait times so called the 1-888-600-9890 number on Wednesday. Spoke to a lady who said she would take my information and send an email to the marketing department and I should expect a call within 1 or 2 business days. OK fine - I said I will give them until end of day today. Well, they called me this morning (Friday) and matched the 3% rate, starting on Monday of next week for 180 days. The caller asked if I was interested in moving in more money or locking in at all but after I said no, they very nicely agreed to the 3%. Also chatted about possible upcoming B of C rate increases - this person thought higher rates are coming in January! We shall see...
Good luck everyone!

It sounds like they want to drag out the process, hoping they won't be able to reach you later. We know from previous experience that they are able to make this decision right away. No need to delay.
