So….what irks me is that as an RBC customer of *cough* 30+ years standing, I never get offered anything. Zilch. Zero. No gift cards. No iPad Minis. No free toaster. Rather offensive…..
So…that’s like paying $180 instead of $319 for it. Not that enticing!
Too bad I’m already a customer…
Monthly fees plus annual fee…this offer doesn’t attract me
Go for the TD Samsung offer instead- no fees if minimum balance maintained.
I agree it is offensive to offer these gifts to new customers when I have been with the royal for over 30 years.. paid my mortgage and have been a loyal customer. what are they offering me to stay with them.
