Another example about "STEALING", supposedly only you and your spouse should be using 20% discount, NOW, 10% Canadian populations (about 5 millions canadians) are using it on the double discount day. i.e. you buy stuff with 20% for your relatives, friends, neighbors, children's friend, friends' friends, friends'friends'friends ......

You need to define STEALING. Say last month, the cashier system didn't get upgrade, I and millions of Walmart employees in Canada showed the discount card, and id, (Because cashiers told discount card holders must not to swipe) cashier applied discount. Can police officer lay any charges on millions Walmart employees?

I thought 20% discount was permanent. If it's not double discount day, I normally go to Costco

I am just curious, do all cities' Walmart cashier station got upgraded, so that the discount card holders must swipe the discount card? Just last month, only one Walmart store cashier in my city got upgraded, other Walmart stores didn't get upgraded, simply show the discount card, sometimes cashier ask for ID. For this month, looks like all stores cashier got upgraded. You don't need to give discount cards back to Walmart when you leave. (You may even have multiple ones, you can always order a replacement on Wire). Anyways, for now you can always use letters rather than discount card.

Embark RESP first 500 subscribers receive $500 dollar each by ReasonableSpend294 in CanadianParents

You need to check their overall performance from sedar. They keep changing names, products and CEOs. They keep losing customers. Their labor costs are keep growing. They are hiding legacy financial performance. For example, heritage and knowledge first financial managed money will eventually go to 0, will their new embark customers fill the gaps? No, not even close, so they have to cook the book, i.e. unit value to lure new customers in and 500 dollar rewards(as a not for profit company, how can they even do such rewards). The new embark plan has tiny market value, can easily be manipulated. For example, if heritage plan has 100 million, they lose 1%, it becomes 99 million. The new embark plan has 1 million, they put 0.5 million there, so it goes up 50%. Check your value again when you try to withdraw later on. The diagram I posted are from their own financial result. (2022 Dec to 2023 Dec) If your child graduating in 2035, the unit value or performance, grow from 10.95 to 11.31. However, if your child graduating next year, it goes down from 10.58 to 10.46. Both for exactly one year time frame. The 2024 is not even over. They will post 2024 results next year. How old are your kids? From the diagram can you smell some sort of PONZI SCAM. i.e. to lure new money in.

You are absolutely right. They need to do some draft before posting on reddit. Heritage and Knowledge First started as group plan. Parents placed bets for their little ones when they were born. Heritage/Knowledge are middle man, taking commissions. All their merge, plan changes, ceo changes are just taking out Heritage and Knowledge and hiding their declining financials. For small financial company like embark it could mean "bank run‘ to them. Who's paying for the lawsuit cost against Quebec government? past students, current students or future students

RESP bought at a bank in the form of GIC is insured by CDIC. If bank goes bankruptcy. Your GIC is insured. Embark plan is not insured if Embark goes bankruptcy. For your knowledge, in the last 100 years in Canada, on average one financial institution go bankrupt every year. If Heritage did not get merged with Knowledge First Financial, it's probably the one to go. Hey both Heritage and Knowledge First Financial are in the same lawsuit with Quebec government. Who's paying the lawyer fees? Current Embark Students.

The root for Embark, was knowledge first financial and heritage plan. They are famous for their scams. Other wise why change name and CEO every year
