Their current 5 year Bonus Rate is still 3.0% and yes the branch has a limited number of bonus top ups of 0.5% they can offer select clients. I know this because I bought a 5 year non registered GIC at 3.5%  

Is the current 5 year GIC now 2.50% (down from 3% down from 3.25%)?

The 3% special rate for the five-year CIBC Bonus Rate GIC is still available for non-registered, RRSP, and TFSA.

2½% for RRIF and LIF though.

I could not get jack from these guys without sitting through a meeting about mutual funds, then they wanted market link funds were so reluctant to allow for me to get 3.25. So I cancelled my last appointment and took the 3.18% at wealth one
The big 5 will never be on your side for anything!!!!
I went through live chats, drop in at branch in Cambridge where I live, booked appointments in Milton branch where I work
They are worse than the borg on star trek… One mind and they were preparing me for assimilation

The only satisfaction I got was being able to tell someone to their face calmly and polite way that my recent 3 experiences this RRSP season have re confirmed everything I have ever thought about the big five and I wish to humbly withdraw my application!! They could not have given one rats behind!

Why would you say that, Norman1? I follow the links in this thread & 3% Bonus Rate is still there.

Strange.

The 3% rate is gone from the CIBC Bonus Rate GIC rate tables at Interest Rates on GICs. But, the 3% rate is advertised still at CIBC Bonus Rate GIC!

Don't tell them! LOL

I once got a full percent higher rate for a GIC due to such a discrepancy (at another FI).

I just noticed something in that table ...

Investment Amount: $500 to $1,000,000,000!

And I was thinking about investing $2B! Sadly out of Luck, I suppose ...

"Moot" means of no effect and thus unimportant. "Mute" means not producing sound.
