If more than one (1) Eligible Registered Account is opened, only the first Eligible Registered Account that fulfilled the Bundle Bonus Offer conditions will be eligible for the Bundle Bonus. If two eligible accounts fulfill on the same day, the Bundle Bonus will be paid into only one of the Eligible Registered Account(s) in the following order: (1) Eligible TFSA, then (2) Eligible FHSA, then (3) Eligible RRSP.   For joint accounts, only one (1) $400 Package Bonus will be applied to the primary account holder’s Eligible Chequing Account and only one (1) $50 Bundle Bonus will be applied to the primary account holder’s Eligible Registered Account.
