Wife's promo ended last week, she called today and was offered 1.5% for 90 days.

My existing promo with Tangerine ended yesterday, called and was offered a very competitive rate on any balance in savings accounts for 150 days until December 25. Ok, sounds good, thank you, have a great day, Merry Christmas, done.
Now you can also tell us about that very competitive rate, Bill.

Anyone have any luck with Tang recently? I called them late June, before an offer was to expire, & rec'd 2.25% for 90 days, which is now ending soon...Haven't decided if I will call, or transfer out and hope they miss me, ha.
I'm okay with playing along with Tang's 'games', always hopeful I will be among the chosen to be blessed with an offer; knock on wood, I've had pretty good luck...

Last offer expired Aug 31 and money's out as of Sep 1. No offer. Don't phone. Don't care to play. Want my money? Make me an offer I can't refuse...and .05 over what I'm getting elsewhere doesn't cut it.

I didn't notice this until today, but Tang dropped its Savings "posted rate" to 0.15% as of September 10, 2020. See historical rates: https://www.tangerine.ca/en/rates/historical-rates .
For those who managed to negotiate bonus interest with Tang, the bonus "additional interest" is added to the posted rate for the offer.
Here is part of my fine print: "Any change to the Posted Rate will result in a corresponding change to the Offer. Additional Interest and/or Posted Rates may change at any time without prior notice. Eligible Clients will receive the Offer in two separate interest payments, one based on the Posted Rate and a second based on the Additional Interest rate."
For me, the additional interest rate is 1.65% + the posted rate.

I phoned them today as my current bonus rate is expiring on the 30th. They said the best they can do is 1.6%. I thought they meant a total of 1.6%....didn't realize that it is plus the posted rate. I don't want to phone back today on that, maybe I will on the 28th.
I'll probably end up moving funds out to Motive. I might look into some of the funds being locked into the 10 yr term with interest paid annually. So frustrating right now when you are living off of interest income. Oh well, I'm better off than most people...so really can't complain.

My experience is that what they offer is a fixed "additional rate" + a variable "posted rate", and that at the time of offer they quote you the total of the two, but the details about the 'subject to changes in the posted rate' are in the fine print once you accept the offer. So, I think they offered you 1.6% as the total of the two rates. Probably 1.45% additional rate + current posted rate of 0.15%.
My current bonus rate was negotiated in early September, so my total offer is higher than what they're offering now.
Wanted to alert folks that the posted rate went down as of Sept 10, so that may impact some who negotiated an offer prior to then (decrease to posted rate of 0.05% as of Sept 10).

It is highly unlikely the offer is 1.6% plus the posted rate instead of 1.6% total.
Tangerine Bank has never quoted me a rate that is "plus posted rate" on an offer. They have always quoted a total rate. That total rate may or may not change with the posted rate.
In Tangerine would not honor the rate agreement …, one Tangerine Bank agent misrepresented an 1.8% offer as a 1.8%-plus-posted-rate offer. Tangerine Bank did not honour what that agent said.

I phoned today as my 2.5% was expiring on the 30th. I accepted 1.6% until Feb.21 and the 2.5% will end today. The wording on the Terms and Conditions seems pretty clear as to what I'll be getting:
" The Tangerine Bank (the "Bank") Limited Time Interest Offer of 1.60% (the "Offer") is available to existing Tangerine Clients who receive notification that they are eligible for the Offer from a Tangerine Contact Centre Associate and who verbally accept the Offer ("Eligible Clients"). The Offer is available to Eligible Clients on all eligible deposits for a period of 150 days from the date they accept the Offer (the "Promotion Period") to a maximum of $1,000,000 ..."

I wonder if online chat is not sufficient and you need to call in since it says clients need to “verbally” accept the offer. Hmm

You are 100% correct. RRSP withdrawals and GIC interest combine to maketh the tax man smile. The only answer i came up with, spread your RSSP/RRIF withdrawals out for as long as possible, meaning... start cashing out of your RRSPs yesterday. To wait until later in life to cash out, only means a larger yearly withdrawal and a higher tax rate.
Nothing wrong with that.
Have a Great Day
