Looks like CIBC added a new feature (since Feb 2022 ?) called Smart Interest to eAdvantage Savings.
Smart Interest is a bonus interest rewarded when you save $200 or more in a month (not including interest earned). You can get this bonus interest in addition to Regular Interest on your CIBC eAdvantage Savings Account.
You’ll get Smart Interest on your total account balances, up to $200,000. If you have more than one CIBC eAdvantage Savings Account with the same account holder(s), you'll get Smart Interest when you save $200 across all of those accounts. Only one account will be designated to receive Smart Interest.
As of today, regular interest is 0.35% & smart interest is 0.25%

. . . 0.35% + .025% = 0.60%. That's not bad for a Big Bank SA ❗
But it still doesn't compare to these ⬇
I also have a Big Bank SA (with TD). But except for the very rare special occasion, I don't keep much more than a $1 in it.
With all the HISA we have access to (see link above), what would be the reason for keeping significant amounts in a Big Bank SA these days ❓

BMO have had this for years on their Savings Builder Account. At one point, we were getting 0.2% as a base plus 1.4% in months when the balance grew by $200 or more. Max balance of $250k. Today, the rates are 0.1% + 0.7%.
We keep $1.10 there now ...

Just another angle to try and fool the unwashed masses and grab a few bucks at uncompetitive rates.

There is no attraction whatsoever for people who have the ability to, as a close friend once described it, rub two neurons together in the brain and make something happen.

And if you open a new eAdvantage savings account you get a 2.0% bonus interest for 120 days for a total of 2.6%.
This is exactly what I'm doing while I wait for GIC rates to go to 4.5% or better !
And if need be when thats finished I might get my spouse to open an eAdvantage account and get another 120 days, thats if Tang hasn't got some promo on the go.
