Before you sign up for a bank bonus
Read the qualifying steps first
Most bonuses need a specific action by a deadline: a payroll deposit, a minimum balance or a first trade. The bonus is only real if you can complete it.
Bonuses can be taxable
Cash bonuses and interest are generally reported as income. Keep the statements for tax time.
Opening an account is not a credit hit, usually
Chequing and savings accounts normally involve no hard credit check. Credit cards and lines of credit do.
Bank offer questions
- Are these bank offers available across Canada?
- Most are, but some exclude Quebec or require you to be a new customer. Each card lists the main conditions, and the provider's own page has the full terms.
- Where can I find an offer's deadline?
- Dealfox lists the end date on the offer card when one is available. Check the provider's terms for any separate deadlines to qualify for the bonus.
- Does Dealfox get paid for these offers?
- Some links are referral or affiliate links, marked on the card. If you sign up through one, Dealfox may receive a referral bonus or commission. It does not change the offer you get.
Dealfox is not a financial advisor and this page is not financial advice. Offers come from the providers and can change; confirm the terms on the provider's site. Looking for phone or internet credits? See phone and internet offers.
