i noticed 2.5% for above S$75,000?
does that means there is no cap?
i can top up $200k
and 76k to 200k is also 2.5%?

I just realised tdy when I log into the cimb app waste
Can confirm is it if top up now immediately will qualify 3.3%? Or means I already lose out of Nov since about to end?
Imo, just wait for Dec promo or alternatives from HSBC or stand chart

Skimmed through the TNC but found no mention about cap

Logically 200k should be ok but better to just just contact CIMB if unsure

i also noticed for cimb starsaver
first 100k - 1.19+2.11
next 150k - 2.19+1.11
above 250k - 3.3

sounds like a fixed D

Haha, you intending to put 200k in star?

CIMB loves doing tiering and this basically cause issues for people who forget about this and calculate base and bonus interest

If sep 30 top up 50k, then oct 31 top up 20k, then nov 10 take out 100k, then nov 20 top up 150k, and hold until dec 1, how much interest will get in dec?

the bonus issue is confusing

for starsaver
first 100k - 1.19+2.11
next 150k - 2.19+1.11
above 250k - 3.3

to get the 2.11% and 1.11% bonus interest

So in this case
oct 31 my balance is $7,000
nov 25- deposited $250,000
Dec 1 - deposited $5,500
jan 1 - deposited $5,500

I will get bonus interest
for the $250,000
from 6 days of Nov + Dec + Jan?

Oct month end balance = $7,000*

Yes, according to what the CSO shared with me, I'm assuming u don't withdraw any amount coz the way u put as end of day balance is not right, your end of day should be 257k on 25-30 Nov, 262,500 for whole of Dec etc, then any amount in excess of 7k will earn 3.3%

In short, yes

Long,
1) You must minus off your 7000 for the bonus interest cause that is your comparison amount
2) As long as you have more than 12K (assuming that your Oct 31 balance is really 7000) in your account on the last day of each month

Longer,
3) Also check with CIMB if there is cap limit on fast saver for the promo

To add on, try to comprehend the illustration in the TnC which is Point 10, as it almost covers all of the possible cases for someone to make.

Very confusing this promo
one rm told me
if I don’t put the $5500 in Nov
I will not be eligible for December and Jan bonus interest
I was also advice
to only put in December 1
there might be a better promotion
next month

very confused
