Just had the worst experience trying to apply for this card.

A while ago I tried to open a chequing account with Tangerine, but gave up when I was asked to verify my identity at Canada Post. In order to apply for this card, I tried using my old credentials, but it doesn't work anymore, instead it prompts me to call them when I try to log in.

So that's what I did, but when the CSR pulled up my profile they couldn't see any information, therefore I got transferred to the security team. After more than an hour on hold, I was told that last time I had to go to Canada Post because there was something wrong with my credit report, and I have to call TransUnion to fix it.

There are two problems. First of all, I have a paid TransUnion subscription and can't find anything wrong with my credit report. Secondly, I am willing to go to Canada Post this time to verify my identity, all they needed to do was to delete my profile so I can start over (which their Twitter CSR insisted was possible), however on the phone they kept asking me to call TransUnion and trying to hang up on me when I was trying to explain the situation.

I used my GCR account to refer my wife, and siblings to open their GCR. When they use GCR for the next 3 years , I get 15% of their GCR CB. They still get 100% of their own CB. E.g. I got 15% of their total CB when they successfully got their amex SCP cc and now again for this Tangerine moneyback CC

Hope that makes sense. If not I can try at explaining again.

Edit: straight from GCR referral details. Link
https://www.greatcanadianrebates.ca/ref ... ter/124142

"Get 15% of all cash back rebates your referrals collect for the next three years.

You will earn a Referral Bonus on all Cash Back Rebates earned by any new member you refer for three years from the time your referral becomes a member. There is no limit to the number of people you can refer to Great Canadian Rebates.

For example :

One person you refer who gets $100 in cash back rebates for each of the next three years.
You will receive $15 + $15 + $15 or $45 in total for ONE referral."

It looks like GCR has become even more generous.

They have now bumped this up to 25%!

I have an excellent credit history with a few late payment here and there (not many) and always pay in full EVERY month. 2 active cc with limits of $12k each, when I tell them to lower to $5k they creep back up anyway. Also have a LOC of $15k for 20 years that I just used and paid off.
I had tried to apply for the Tangerine cc and thought something had gone wrong so I tried a few more times with the message coming back "too many accounts of this kind"???
I just spoke with Tang rep and they say I was declined! I have NEVER been declined for any cc and I usually have only 2. They said I have TOO MUCH CREDIT, even if it's unused. I said I would only need $5k limit on the card and when it is in place I will cancel other card and transfer ALL my banking to Tang...no deal! I am actually in shock! FYI I am a 60+ lady. I think I will go to Scotia for no fee banking and will chat to them about cc.
Sorry to hear about your poor experience.

In case you were not aware, Tangerine is actually owned by Scotiabank.

I might be dumb but I don't see anything asking this:
Will buying an iPhone count towards the 15% or just groceries?

No problems for me. Just got instant approval.

I do already have a bank account with them.

The web site can be very slow at times. Maybe it was timing out on your SIN.

Have you ever had any Tangerine/ING accounts? That was my problem when I ran into that...

I got the card in mid October too, still no 15%. Seems like it's normal for them to hold out on giving the 15%.

it takes at least 62 days to get your credit + time to the next statement.

you won't see the credit before then and I'd add another month cycle on top of that before you start to get worried.

So I'm looking at my account and it shows 2% cash back for groceries I purchased (I must have selected that as one of my categories).

Is this in addition to the 15% cash back on $1500 spent in first 60 days offer?

I'm going to book a vacation soon, flight + resort stay.

Which category if any does flight fall under? I assume the resort is under hotel/motel.

Activated my card October 15, but my billing cycle starts on the 4th.
I expect the $150 at the latest on Feb 4th statement since 60 days after activation puts me in December 16th . If not, then I will call them.

So I just tried to sign up my wife for a card, clicked through GCR link, she logged into her tangerine account, and instantly before having anything else pop up it simply said at the top banner under insights, " Your credit card is on its way". I thought it was weird that it didnt even tell her she was approved or for how much, or ask any questions it all, simply said its on its way. I noticed after the fact that she technically already has a world elite card, as she has a secondary card on my account, with me as the primary. Will this exclude her from this promo? It appears the card is coming, but does it count with GCR or the 15% promo?
