Hi,
There is a sentence in the Refer a Friend Program T&C (https://www.simplii.com/content/dam/simplii-public-assets/documents/pdf/legal/raf-campaign-tcs-final.pdf) that says:
This Offer cannot be combined with any other offer or rebate unless otherwise specifically communicated by Simplii Financial.
Does it mean if I use a referral link to open a chequing account, I won’t be eligible for the New Client Offers any more?
Thanks
Yes, you’ll still be eligible for the new client offers.
Used your referral link Simon. Cheers!
