If I put in an application for the 5 year GIC at 3% on March 10 and I'm mailing my cheque on March 16, will they still honor the 3% rate?

Was wondering how long I had to mail the cheque, since they didn't mention a timeframe in the email I received after submitting the application.  

Don't know why it took you so long to mail the cheque. Did you not speak to anyone at omnia during the process to confirm the investment details? If you haven't already mailed the cheque you may want to try to arrange a preauthorized debit withdrawal from your home bank account. By filling out a PDA form, or providing a "Void Cheque" and either emailing or faxing it to omnia, you eliminate the need for mailing the payment. This allows an electronic withdrawal directly from your home bank account. You just indicate to the recipient institution how much to withdraw.

You will have to speak to them on Monday to see what kind of leeway they'll give you. Hopefully they will still honour the rate. Good luck!

gicjunkie, Omnia is still showing 3% for 5 years online. I guess they haven’t had chance to change it yet.  

They are closed today. Check back Monday morning for changes.
Welcome to the reality of REALLY low rates.
Have a virus free weekend everyone!
