Looking at one of the last one's at the end of Jan, it looks like there was about a week between one offer ending, and the next starting. Will see what happens with the offer ending Feb 29.

Tax will be the same and paid by the same person, regardless of where the money is sitting. Right? Am I missing something?  

Tax on RBC is paid by me.
Tax at Tang is paid by the other joint holder.

Ok, but if you were to move $1000 from RBC to your joint Tang account, you would still be the one liable for tax on interest earned from this $1000.

Of course. Same amount of interest and tax, but tax paid by different parties.

The crappy thing is that I wasted my 'first RBC HISA' promo offer unnecessarily. I cannot requalify for a new one and was holding it in my back pocket in case I could not find normal offers comparable.

My Tangerine 6% offer expires March 7th, so from what I assume, you pull the money out a few days earlier to TRY to trigger another promo offer?

I asked Tangerine and they won't go above 4.6% on HISA and offered up a 6 month GIC @ 5.75% a few days ago.

Simplii @ 5.5% HISA seems better than the 6 mo 5.75% GIC.

Did Tang send you a notice about a 6 month GIC 5.75%.
As their GIC is much lower. What that a TFSA or RRSP GIC?

So when calling in, they offered the 180 day unregistered GIC for 5.75%?

The real reason is to ensure a very low starting balance in case you get another offer.

Yes....Tang offered the 5.75%. I told them funds would go to ISA (DYN6006) via Questrade if unacceptable offer.

Hmm, that is one of the few times I have heard them offer something decent when calling in. Guess I should have tried calling in before moving out.

I called Tang today. I stated I would be moving my funds out unless they could offer a competitive rate. This is what they came back with, stating they were making exceptions:

New daily int for 5 months: 4.5%
6 month GIC: 5.25%
9 month GIC: 5.3%
1 Yr GIC: 5.4%

Not competitive, so I asked that they transfer my funds out and confirmed that the funds would be set to go out tomorrow - March 1st.

After I logged in to my account, I noted they transferred my funds out today...right after my call! In the past, they always set the transfer up the next day whether I do it myself online or they do it for me. Well, not this time. I guess they wanted to save themselves 6% for a day.

So Questrade has Scotiabank ISAs?
I was trying to search for the DYN600... series funds in Questrade and could NOT find any.
Which Scotiabank fund codes are available in Questrade for ISAs?
