Just saw this today. Sorry if it is old news but I didn't know or I'd have opened my accounts with them rather than Oaken (3.25%).

Oh wait. It says offer is only available to "Retail Members". Never mind then.

Yes, this was posted earlier, I believe in March.
"Retail Members" is not significant. I'm not sure what it means; perhaps not available to brokers or business accounts?
I took advantage of this offer already, without any problems.

As Loonie alludes to, my understanding is the same...individual customers walking into a branch or dealing online through the Contact Center for a personal account.

My experience with Meridian has been largely positive, when good deals that suit my needs are available, especially at the Branch level.

It appears Branch managers are given some degree of discretion to make decisions locally for the benefit of the client.
