If you take it as 1Yr @ 3.75%. But not so bad if you take it as 3Mo @ 3.6% and capture an even better full 1Yr then ...
IF....if you do that....but I bet many people miss the 3 month period end to redeem and just keep holding. It's like prople who keep delaying to buy a GIC and keep holding their funds in a HISA @ say 1.8% to 3% interest for many months thinking they will capture a better GIC rate eventually - but they could have been earning the higher rate for the year by locking in now rather than postponing and earning the much lower HISA rates - if you understand my point. It is the constant delay in the hope of doing better...........

Cool. If you don't put your millions on those 1Yr quarterly GIC's, Hubert may just have to raise the rate even more aggressively. Good for Dean and I ... 🙂

I always get my GIC's on either the 1st or 15th of the month, regardless of the institution. Then, I add the anniversary or cashable dates on my Google calendar with a 7-day reminder ...

The three-month date is also not critical with the Hubert one-year terms as the one-year term deposits are redeemable anytime.
If, for example, one misses the first redemption date by a week, then one will end up with three months at 3.6% and one week at 0%. That averages out to around 3.3% for the total time, still higher than around 2.05% from the Hubert HISA for the same time.

Indeed. But doing something on THE date can maximize returns as in moving the $ into a new higher rate quarterly GIC or other offer elsewhere.

The Chevy Silverado Add says something like "If you're going to work remote, work remote."
If you're gonna play the rate game, play the rate game ...
Or, sit back and wonder what if ...

And those concerned with "merging/meddling breaking up the efficiencies of Hubert" can be relieved...

vow I just withdrew some $$ from my savings account there last few days (those were earning 3.05% which I redeemed past couple of weeks) and they already feel the need to bump the rate on the GICs lol.
