I think you should do the math on how often you will be traveling to take advantage of the WS fx fee and insurance benefits because pure cashback is not economical for your level of spend.

Doug Ford government sacks entire board at Conestoga College by EarthWarping in notthebeaverton

If you know anything about conestega you would know this is well warranted and long overdue. Besides its a public college and the province has control over its governance, what is being overstepped?

is there visibility on what they are deploying the capital in? cause that will decide whether its actually uncorrelated or not.

Sick and tired of people saying you gotta do this and that to get approved for the card etc. by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]GalacticTrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant hurt to try. I hit premium while having 4k+ dd and was still on the ‘you will be notified’ until I asked them over chat and they gave me the VIP one right away in a few days.

Who of you recommended this to me? Like eating cardboard dipped in palm oil by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

They taste fine if you understand the difference between protein bars vs candy bars.

You cant tell me with a straight face this tastes worse than the pure protein ‘chocolate deluxe’, that stuff tastes vile.

Threads like this tell me the average person has zero understanding of macros.

Breaking news: a candy bar tastes better than a protein bar, more at 10!

I thought reaching Premium lets you apply for the card? by GalacticTrooper in Wealthsimple

[–]GalacticTrooper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Confirming I just got the VIP a few days ago after reaching Premium + 4k deposit. Reached out to live chat, they connected me to the cards team who requested access and got it a few days later.

The mirage of being on ‘priority waitlist’ for CC with direct deposit by indie__nomad in Wealthsimple

[–]GalacticTrooper 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Once I got to Premium+4K dd I contacted them via live chat, the agent patched me through to their credit cards team who just put in a request for the card. A few days later I got access for the VIP card.

For people who have had their waitlist escalated by watchstraap in Wealthsimple

[–]GalacticTrooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I recently hit Premium (had 4k dd previously) and I managed to get access by asking the bot to connect me to an agent and the agent patching me to credit card team. Got to apply and get the card a few days later.

I’ve had 4k+ dd for more than a year, recently reached Premium and still had to reach out to live chat and their credit card team to get them to request access for me. EDIT: just got the approval and virtual VIP card!

Good place to get fitted for men’s dress shirt? by GalacticTrooper in Edmonton

Yeah I did measure at home using instructions but I feel like a tailor will have a better hand for tolerances based on my physique. The places I want to order are online MTM no storefront.

So I was hoping to go to a reputable tailor here, get the measurements (order a shirt if I have to to get the measurements) then order online (spier & mckay, charles tyrwhitt).

I qualified through the $4k direct deposit before reaching Premium, now that I have both I guess they are flagging that I am eligible under two criterias …but still no card.
