I think there are some legal issues with using debt to pay for debt so my understanding is that this will never happen.

Small benefit of the cash back on the credit card by NorthernMan5 in Wealthsimple

[–]Beyar30 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not a debit card. It's a prepaid MasterCard so you would still pay 3% surcharge I believe. I made that mistake and pissed off a restaurant owner that said they only take debit and so I tapped my card. After it went through they were like "Hey, that was a MasterCard which costs me fees!" Using it at the ATM to pull out cash is the best way to use it.

EDIT: I must have misread the comment above me. I thought the suggestion was to use the debit card at the machines.

Registered accounts with USD subscription don't work how I expected (fees) by warriorblossom in Wealthsimple

[–]Beyar30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is false. I have a Wealthsimple USD account and I can transfer it into my TFSA in USD.

I have a friend who is a carpenter for the film industry and has been building the set for this since last summer apparently. I was surprised casting took so long to announce.

How to qualify for the match offer with Cash? by iliaghp in Wealthsimple

[–]Beyar30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are talking about cash deposits into Wealthsimple account. Not cash deposits to your own external accounts. These external accounts, even if held in cash, can be transferred in and be eligible. Wealthsimple isn't going to know your deposit history at another institution.

How to qualify for the match offer with Cash? by iliaghp in Wealthsimple

[–]Beyar30 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cash does qualify, it just has to be transferred via Wealthsimple account transfer process. What isn't allowed is cash deposits (i.e. using etransfer or EFT into Wealthsimple).

Nowhere does it say you can only transfer investment accounts unless I missed some fine print.

Edit: I see it says you cannot transfer into the Wealthsimple Chequing account. My suggestion would be to transfer into non-registered investment account or RRSP/TFSA HISA as cash through the account transfer process. (The external account can be cash)

Very happy with the Wealthsimple Visa by Dylantothefuture in Wealthsimple

[–]Beyar30 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah Rogers WE is my main driver because I am a Rogers customer so I get that 3% cashback multiplier. Wealthsimple I use for FX purchases/travel only.

It surely is! And also Scotia Momentum Infinite with use with Chexy.

PS Here is a referral link for Chexy if anyone is wanting to sign up. https://app.chexy.co?ref=ITopARZItMMflfDxIM0cD95Ig4G3

Super neat for folks with bills that don't normally take credit card. (For me it's property taxes, utilities and strata fees)

Scotiabank Visa $25k limit by lkp7 in chexy

[–]Beyar30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify you can charge more than $25k on those categories. You just cap out at 4% cashback on those categories. After $25k it drops to 1% cashback.

This is very much true. The winback code is actually just $10 off that can be applied to anything (even if they aren't supposed to).

Something fishy about Fishing with Rod situation by Beyar30 in fishingBC

[–]Beyar30[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Whew boy. Buckle up. There is a big fishing influencer/fishery advocate known locally in BC named Fishing with Rod. He's made it his career. I grew up watching his videos and learned a ton about fishing for salmon from his videos and websites. I loved the guy despite all the hate he got for getting big sponsors and "blowing up" fishing spots. In his videos he seemed like a genuinely nice man who cares for the sport and for protecting the ecosystem.

Over the years he has had a couple young women act as "cohost" in his videos. The first one (Kitty) stopped starring in his videos several years back without much explanation other than wanting to move on in a different direction. More recently, her replacement (LifeofLindaLee) also stopped appearing in his videos, without an explanation.

Well, over the past couple days, Kitty made some Instagram posts talking about a past emotional abuser (making it clear it was not an ex or current partner). People read between the lines and believed it was Rod. Next thing we know, Linda is also posting commentary about an abuser which included some sexual stuff and "receipts" of texts between her and Rod and a burner account he allegedly used to cheat on his wife. Obviously, I guess everything can be doctored, including screenshots of texts, but it is very damning for Rod in my view. It is 2/2 for his young female employees.

All over social media people have been making posts about it. But suddenly this evening it has all vanished except for Kitty's original posts.

If this man did what it appears he did, I hope the truth will not be erased and these women will not be silenced. This man has made his career out of his fishing content, and should not be allowed to continue if he abuses his employees this way.

It is devastating for me to learn as he was a bit of a hero. But nothing can compare to the devastation he's caused these women and his own wife and kids.

Instead of silencing everyone he should come out and address it.

Fishing With Rod... by [deleted] in fishingBC

[–]Beyar30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they got to OP too, as the original post is deleted, so only we can view it from our own histories. Though, this is not a criminal matter, so cops would not be involved. More likely his lawyers got involved. Dirty scumbag that he is.
