Tangerine « Coup de pouce » Contest: Win $100,000
To the point Tangerine is giving away 3 prizes of $100,000 plus a trip. Here is how to multiply your entries before September 15, 2026.

The Tangerine « Coup de pouce » contest puts three cash prizes of $100,000 up for grabs, each paired with a 3-night trip for two people. The contest is open to Tangerine clients who are legal residents of Canada and at least 18 years old. Registration runs from July 1 to September 15, 2026, and the contest continues until September 30, 2026. Every person who registers receives 5,000 entries right away, then earns more through everyday banking.

Three prizes of $118,000

The contest names three winners. Each one receives $100,000 in cash, plus a 3-night luxury trip for two people. The approximate retail value reaches $118,000 per prize, or $354,000 for all three. The winner picks a destination among three options, subject to Tangerine’s approval:

  • Mexico City, Mexico;
  • Whistler, British Columbia;
  • London, England.

How to enter the contest

No purchase is required. The contest targets Tangerine clients, but it stays open to anyone who opens an account during the period. You register from your Tangerine account and receive 5,000 entries right away. After that, your everyday financial moves add more entries. A no-purchase method also exists: an email to contests@tangerine.ca with a short text about your savings strategies earns 5,000 entries, up to three times per contest.

If you are not yet a client, opening a Tangerine savings account gives you access to the contest. The Tangerine savings account also earns a promotional rate for new clients, which combines two benefits in a single move.

Maximize your entries

Entries add up. The more eligible actions you take, the better your odds. Here are the ways to earn entries, as of July 2026:

Eligible actionEntries earned
Registering for the contest5,000 (one time)
Deposit into an eligible Tangerine account1 entry per dollar deposited
Adding an eligible payroll deposit15,000
Opening a new eligible account10,000 per account (up to 3)
Referring a friend (Orange Key)5,000 per friend (up to 6)
Approved and funded mortgageUp to 110,000

Referrals bring a double benefit. You earn 5,000 entries per person referred, up to 30,000 for six friends. In addition, each new person can receive a $50 welcome bonus if they meet the program conditions. Opening new accounts follows the same logic: three eligible accounts add 30,000 entries.

Depositing funds remains the most direct way to earn, at one entry per dollar. However, reaching the cap through this method alone stays unrealistic for most people. In practice, the high-yield moves are referrals, adding payroll and opening accounts.

Should you open a Tangerine account?

The contest alone does not justify opening an account, since your odds depend on the total number of entries. However, Tangerine offers products that keep their value once the contest ends. The savings account pays a competitive rate, with no monthly fees and no minimum balance.
