VanCity (Vancouver City Savings Credit Union) promo listings inclusion | Site suggestions | Discussion forum

Dear Peter: Though VanCity's regular savings rates are rarely inspiring, they do frequently have excellent promotions.

But they don't usually pop up here quickly or reliably. The "Promos" page currently lists a new-members-only deposit at 4.6%/4.6% for new members for 90 days.

When I visited the branch, a large sign advertised 5% for all members, old or new. (Until December 22nd I think.) They do this 2-3 times annually. I missed about a month of this because I don't get E-mail from them, not being an online banking user and depending on my mailed statements. This has happened before. I don't know why they don't put their offers in their statements, as I frequently urge them to do.

Is there anyone here who uses VanCity's online resources regularly who could pipe up when they see a promo? In the rainy season, I rarely use the branch save for the evening ATM, which never features promos. (Which seems to have had its evening hours extended from until 10 to now until 10:30 pm, a much-welcomed change!) Or is there a way to include VanCity in the site's regular data collection? VanCity has a great many branches and ATMs in BC and its new-money rules for promotions are particularly generous.

Thanks, Peter.
