This was never made clear. I can see it going any one of three ways--depositing into the registered account, depositing into the Personal Account and including on the T5 tax slip, or potentially depositing into the Personal Account and not bothering to include this on the T5 (so you would report this income manually for income tax purposes.)  

Correction: My apologies, the terms & conditions actually said it will be deposited into the Personal Account. However, whether it would be scenario #2 or scenario #3 was never made clear and that was the issue I was recalling about here.

Does the 200.00 go in the regular savings account or the tfs savings account?  

Edit: I made a mistake here, please read my next post instead

Existing card-holders got 10,000 points/$10 which I can verify receipt. A continuation of the trend to treat new customers/clients better than long-term/continuing ones.  

Nothing new with that. All Banks and Loyalty Programs offer specials/promos to join, open new accounts, add new money to existing accounts.

We’re reaching out about an issue with the EQ Bank Bonus Interest Offer that affected your account ending in xxxx.

Interest on your account may have been calculated and paid at 1.00%* instead of the 2.75%* rate under the offer.

We recalculated the difference in interest you should have earned at the 2.75%* rate during the affected period, from October 2025 to June 2026. We’ve also included a redress payment. A single credit for the interest adjustment and redress payment will be applied to your account within 10 business days.

This credit is considered a taxable income.

No further action is needed on your part.

We sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. If you have questions, our Customer Care team is available from 8:00am to midnight ET by phone at 1-844-437-2265 or through live chat.

Sincerely,

EQ Bank

On the matter of credit cards, I'm reading that some EQ customers are getting invitations, and bonus Optimum points, to apply for a PC Optimum Mastercard

I've got that offer. I have EQ account, PC Optimum points card but no PC Optimum credit card.

Short summary of offer: apply for PC Optimum no fee credit card, spend $150 in participating stores in first 60 days after approval, get $150 in PC Optimum points (150,000 points).

Maybe Peter will change the title of this discussion to "EQ Bank is One Step Closer to Acquiring PC Financial".  

Or, "Has Acquired" ...
