Is having $1M handy to invest another RFDer trait?
In addition to deadlifting over 1000lbs and some other generalization I can’t remember?

Yes that's the idea of being in RFD, paying attention and following good advice. Enjoy!

All RFDers make over $100k, have their RRSP and TFSA maxed, plus have million dollar homes with almost no mortgage.

I thought the opposite, that all rfers make 50k/yr, spend $100/mo on groceries, and pay net zero for all their purchases after factoring points, discounts, and resale to breakeven.

Crap, we forgot about how proud RFDers are about their cell phone plans, that they mention them in their signatures

All the basic RFD lore in one post.

In fact in Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people

As with all of the investment / brokerage deals posted here with free iPads, cash bonuses or whatever ... nobody expects you to have bundles of cash under your mattress just waiting to invest. These deals are targeted at people who have some savings with a different institution, encouraging them to move those existing savings over.

If you have zero existing savings then these deals are not for you, and making jokes about it isn’t helpful. (And you should probably take some time to evaluate your financial planning lol)

After reading the fine print, this deal looks pretty cold. They don't even offer to cover transfer fees. Most places will at least cover $135-$150.

You may only have one (1) Promotion Account.

Deposits that are split across more than one account will not be considered for eligibility when calculating
whether you meet the net new asset minimum threshold (for example, $50K in a RRSP and $50K in a Nonregistered account cannot be combined to reach the $100K threshold).

I'll pass on this one.

Does the offer stipulate "new clients only"? BMO routinely has these kinds of offers and usually existing clients qualify as long as they fund the account in accordance with the rules of the promotion. I skimmed the fine print but did not see this stipulated.

Let's fix the title:

BMO InvestorLine - Get cash ~ 0.2% when you invest at least $50,000 in a new Self-Directed account

I know interest rates are near zero but isn't it still possible to do better than this in a savings account of some sort?

The “deal” is a cash bonus on top of whatever regular interest / income you’re already getting.

Whatever returns that money is getting where it is now... stock dividends/capital gains, mutual fund dividends/interest, GIC interest, whatever... you would continue to get the exact same returns when those investments are managed by a different company. (Assuming you transfer securities “in kind”. If you sell first and transfer cash, then returns on whatever you buy instead could be higher or lower.)

But it doesn’t sound all that great anyway, if it’s true that they don’t cover transfer fees.

Also bonus money is tax free.

" $100,000 - $249,999 <=> $250 "

Kinda nasty ... the standard for promo $100K - $250K .... is generally $400
