Hey they've been having these deals for a while (like you can also get powertools and shit for switching instead). And I am getting sick of National Bank being having 1 teller with 8 people in line. But it'd be wayyy too much hassle, wouldn't it? Switching up my work's direct deposit?

EDIT - How is TD Bank with hours? I've been getting ticked at my National Bank because except for Thurs/Friday I start work before they open and end work after they close.

In the spirit of the Shuffle, they should not tell you what you're getting and just reach into a box and you get the first thing they pull out. Then the TD rep says "Life is random!"

That sucks as TD is my main branch. I wonder if I call them and tell them I'll move the account if they dont give me one, they'll give me one.

One of my friends walked in, asked for one and they gave it to him.

Are you serious? Even though I hate the shuffle, this is a free one so I might converge on this.
 
I'm too lazy to change all my banking shit form cibc to td just for a shuffle. I would if it was a normal or mini ipod though.

Send me your iPods, then sign up 5 more people to send you their iPod. Then we all have 5 iPods. Everyone's a winner!

I have a better idea, we do this little deal and get our own Ipod (1 each)!!!
 
You must have at least two pre-authorized debits (i.e. credit cards, utility bills) and/or one direct deposit (i.e. paycheque)

Shitty shit shit. Don't have those, and my rents don't want to switch cause they've got their mortgage payments tied to their CIBC chequing accounts (too much of a hassle). Fuck.

If I were still working this wouldn't be a problem...`
 
what's the catch? i'm with bmo, and i've seen all those free powerdrill offers, etc. but do they charge for each debit swipe, monthly fees, etc?

open till 8 on weekdays, 5pm on Saturdays in most branches. Best hours of most banks I know.

I have a CIBC account and a TD account, I wonder if they'll let me switch over my CIBC account for a shuffle?

And to those who already have a TD chequing out? What about us?

WHAT ABOUT US????

All they want is for you to be having 1 scheduled deposit (IE salary) or 2 bills to pay every month.

Awesome. And when I go there to pay off my TD bank credit card, there are always like 4 tellers.

What 's the catch... I doubt the interest percent is lower, considering I get like 70 cents a month from National for a good amount of cash in the bank.

TD Bank is probably the best bank I've dealt with (especially after absorbing Canada Trust).

That being said, I'll probably stick with PC Financial. Really, after all the debit and monthly fees, the shuffle probably wouldn't be worth it.

:lol

Honestly I'm not sure I'd even use this thing for free, such is my disdain for it.

I'll see if my parents have TD accounts though...if they do, I guess they could take advantage of this.

Er ok, but what do you actually do to get it if you're already with them? My sleeze limits won't allow me to open an account just to switch, and the one account I have outside TD is literally bound to the Royal Bank due to a credit line.

And more importantly, what about those who live in the United States??

What about U.S.?? :)
 
I'm already with TD and already have 512 Shuffle, but damned if that wouldn't make a nice gift. I might go to my branch and ask about the promotion. Pretend that I don't know that it's for non-members. :lol

why can't you just have a direct deposit from your normal account into this one? So then you can just leave your work deposits alone?

Walked in a bank and asked teller for one? You must be joking, right?

He's definitely lying.

I went with a couple of people from class today and the only way you can get one if you already have a chequing account with TD is if you have on with TD and one with another bank, so you can switch the information to your current bank.

EVERYONE WITH A TD ACCOUNT WILL NOT GET ONE! THIS IS FOR PROSPECTIVE BANKERS!

Sorry to ruin everyone's day, they already ruined mine.

Dammit so I can't get one, I should complain and threaten to switch banks if they don't give me one.
