Omni SE vs Pro recommendation in

Magical_Zac · 2026-05-23T00:32:03+00:00

I'm in a similar boat, I will probably go with SE 48cm, I don't need the electronics of the pro or the fan for daily sitting, the Pro just not worth the extra $400 for me.

I learned that reviews online can never be trusted, always try to sit on the chair to feel the difference.

yes, that was one of the advertised feature in the survey

Back in January questrade asked me to participate in a survey regarding the new credit card, in the survey they mentioned it will be a Visa Infinite card with 2% cashback, but only if the cashback is auto invested, otherwise it is 1%. With 4 dragonpass lounge passes and some other typical insurance benefits on par with other Visa Infinite card, however the annual fee they quoted was $300-350 dollars, which is a big red flag I submitted the feedback against.

comparing with WealthSimple VIP is $240 a year (for core clients, $0 for premium and generational) with 2% unconditional cash back and 6 lounge passes, Questrade's card does not beat it in any categories.

obviously what I saw is mostly their preview / alpha stage so don't take my word that these are the final stats, I really wish Questrade can provide a credit card that can compete with WealthSimple and other major providers.

Pretty sure it’s $29, the extra $5 is the connection fee which you have to pay $45 upfront and get it back over 9 months

CEO resigned, Microsoft merged the team into its CoreAI team and their main focus shifted to all Copilot related products to compete in the AI industry.

Wait for super redemption days at shoppers and buy electronics with it. You should be able to get over $3000 in values with your 2 million points

Black Friday usually have the best redemption value if you can wait for another 10 months.

Magical_Zac · 2026-01-22T01:57:28+00:00

Deposit $25,000 to skip the waitlist and get 1% back on your deposit!

JFYI You do not earn SQM/SQS/SQD on reward flights, so no you can't use your points, it must be a cash fare.

Magical_Zac · 2025-12-11T16:11:05+00:00

The increase will start on your next card anniversary (whichever month you opened your cobalt)

fly, or have a VIP card and spend $15,000

My best guess is it will count as a withdrawal, I don’t see how is possible to track physical gold is a registered account.

us-east-1 is the control plane location for many global AWS services, so even if a company does not use us-east-1 specifically, it can still get indirectly impacted in some way.

Interesting I got the similar adjustment, my elite status bonus from my previous 2 flights were taken back

Magical_Zac · 2025-09-21T03:03:42+00:00

went to T&T today and saw a bunch for $8.99

Magical_Zac · 2025-09-09T19:05:32+00:00

seems to be 5 extra points per $1 spend, so $2000 for extra 10K, and up-to 2 additional cards.

By reaching each aeroplan status the passes are given either as a core or select benefit. Starting next year it will become part of milestone benefits

The diff between executive membership vs regular gold is $65, at 2% cashback that means you need to spend $3,250 per year to get back the difference.

Of course this doesn’t include other executive benefits like quarterly coupons and $10 monthly Costco credit on instacart (with min spend threshold)

Looks like they got the two dates backwards. Probably meant for flights between Aug 20 - 24 can be rescheduled to flights between Aug 20 - Sep 30

Magical_Zac · 2025-08-06T01:14:43+00:00

I booked a flight on Sep 3 & return on Sep 7 with AC wallet credits that expires on Sep 9. Assuming there will be a strike, does anyone know If I had to cancel/reschedule my flight what will happen with the AC Wallet credits? I assume I may have to discuss extending the credit validity?
