I have opened a "Smart Account" at the CIBC - and was advised of the deposit and payment activity needed to warrant the $300.00 reimbursement for "Opening the Account".  
 
Well, 2 months into this - I have not received the $300.00 - and just today contacted their toll free number - and the gal informed me that "The account MUST be 1 year active - no NSF''s and THEN they will deposit the $300.00 into your account after 90 days!!!!  
 
I am not sure how many of you also fell for this ploy - but did they advise YOU of the 1 year active period, then the 90 days wait period AFTER the 1 year - before the $300.00 would be deposited into your "Smart Account"???  
 
Guess we can''t even believe in the Bank Advertisements. Just advising you - in case you too are awaiting the $300.00 deposit - and feel misinformed. What is your experience with this?

Pretty clearly listed in the fine print.  
 
I looked into it online and understood those terms.

worst.bank.ever.

I always read the fine print. These offers usually come with fine print, but the banks have never failed to give me the bonus once the required conditions were met.
