Pension or payroll DD kills it for me - too much hustle.
+1
I actually knew about this but was on the fence given that I don't feel comfortable getting HR to switch bank details, and even still I would use this on a BMO or something better if I did choose to switch payroll :)

martydxb, suggestion to consider: please post a new post whenever you do an edit to add something to OP!

Just something like "added Bank ABC deal XYZ" ... that way we can get notified of new deals that are thread-of-threads-worthy via subscription :D
POLL: How frequent is your RRSP-matching?
Plastiq: Pay any bill with credit card for 0-2.5% fee (help meet min spending and keep old cards active!)
Rewards program transfer times (e.g. SPG->Aeroplan, Marriott->SPG, Amex MR->SPG...)

It's kind of a lurking thread because not many posts ... but now that I've apparently been granted free breakfast requests we might see the thread bumped a bit on updates.

Ya, and thanks to me to suggest how to keep it going ... and thanks to marty for making this meta-thread.

And thanks to all breakfast donations

Marty et. al. ... this seems kind of meta-banking-promo-related enough to post here ...

BMO thread has confirmed that a recurring transfer from Tangerine qualifies as a direct deposit for that promo. So you don't have to save an HR switch for BMO, just use Tangerine.

... and possibly Tangerine might count as DD for other bank promos too?? worth a shot. Set it up, then confirm afterwards "does this qualify?"

Tangerine's deposits are coded as "Investment" so may fool other requirements that strictly check codes (if any actually do ... possibly they just say "direct deposit" but in actuality *any* EFT deposit will count).

I received the Scotia bank $300 targeted offer by email however I previously had a basic banking account (terms say you won't get the bonus if you've had this). ? Anyone have experience with this?

EDIT: called and was told I'm eligible. So I guess it doesn't matter

As did I and have already transferred it out into Tangerine.

I now just wait for my Meridian $100 that's on hold, to be available next month. :)
