Still nothing for us either. This is the second Tang special offer we've now missed out on, in a row. We must have somehow got into their Bad Books. They don't want our $$$ ... so be it.

Oh well ... our SAs @ Oaken are still getting us 3.00%. Better that than Tang's 0.35% regular rate, any day.

C'est la vie ❗

CORRECTION ⬆

The regular rate on my Tang SA now shows @ 0.50% ❗

Like WOW, eh

Dean

Missed a promo so account was sitting at 0.30%, but called in and they were able to make a new decent offer over the phone for 90 days, after asking about how much would be transferred in, and looking at the account etc.
So worth a try.

Interesting to hear this. In the past, they never cared how much I brought over to give me ANY bonus rates when I never got an emailed bonus offer savings rate. For example, I called with a zero balance and said I would bring around 50K same day. They said no deal. Maybe too small to matter? I guess it's CSR dependant. What rate did they give you?  

Initially they said there was no offer available, but asked in another way, and they looked into the account, and said 3% was on offer. But for sure its something automatic in the system, and not up to the CSR.
Random idea, if a person never gets offer, they could try contacting a manager or ombudsman or something in the bank?
But probably a moot point, since rates are looking to be low for years to come now due to Agent Orange damaging the economy.

"Agent Orange" ⬆ ... I like that ... LOL

~ 46 months to go

With a dash of Napalm ...

46 months too many ...

Agent Orange works on many levels, but one assumes rates for HISA's are going to hit rock bottom.

With the jump in inflation from 1.9% to 2.6% in February, I wonder if that means the BoC rate will rise, once again. After all, CPI was the primary focus of all the previous inflation-fighting increases.  

But, with the tariffs and economic contraction will probably have to keep interest rates low...stagflation. Although apparently, if it gets really bad they might hike interest rates?

I think that was too aggressive a move to go from 5% to 2.75% in such a short time. I think they should have held it up at 3% for sometime to see the inflation. They battled it for so long to get the inflation down and then these moves?......BoC has only 1 mandate - Inflation.
Fed has 2.

I got 4.15% till June 30.
