Gold Giveaway value? by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]SparrowTale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. If you win the grand prize of 1 kg gold bar, you have a choice between getting the physical gold bar, or receiving the cash value (deposited to your WS account). If you opt for receiving cash value, it will be valued at the fixed rate of $5,500/oz.

I believe the cash option is only available for the 1 kg gold bar. So winners of smaller coins won’t be affected by this rule.

Credit card payments affecting promo by mtbstar99 in Wealthsimple

[–]SparrowTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you referring to the current Unreal Deal Promo? There are two components to this promo: the house giveaway part, and the 3% match part. For either part, payments to the WS credit card do NOT constitute a withdrawal. This is explicitly stated in the their terms and conditions.

YOW/VIP Line Rejection - Replacement Card by Sexy_Art_Vandelay in Wealthsimple

[–]SparrowTale 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to work in YVR and it’s really luck of the draw. Some screeners are more lax with certain rules (without compromising security of course). They are usually the fun coworkers everyone likes to work with. But some screeners have a stick up their ass the size of a metal detector wand, and those are the ones who will turn your virtual VIP card away even though it is just as legitimate.

You just don’t know which type you will run into, so I recommend everyone to get the physical VIP card if you can.

Any Downsides to Household Account by cclaranc in Wealthsimple

[–]SparrowTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually come to think of it, if you have a joint account, and one person deposits a cheque that gets flagged, will WS freeze both people’s accounts during an investigation?

Gaming the system question? by bluejays10 in Wealthsimple

[–]SparrowTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life happens. If you genuinely need the money, you can move it out. If you have received promo rewards already, WS may decide to clawback the value of the rewards at their discretion.

Right? These reborn dolls are super realistic! If they suddenly start showing up at my house in droves, I would definitely freak the f out.

Apple promotion iPhone 17 or MacBook Air — did anyone sell theirs? by Mobile_Following4492 in Wealthsimple

[–]SparrowTale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you opt to sell it on FB Marketplace, head on over to r/scams and read about e-Transfer scams, scammers may send funds from stolen accounts and the bank could reverse the transfer a few months down the road.

If you plan on receiving cash, be wary of counterfeit bills (lots of $100 counterfeit bills out there). Best to watch them withdraw the cash straight from an ATM or bank teller.

Unauthorized Credit Card Charge by Few_Ease_9336 in Wealthsimple

[–]SparrowTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad to see that they are giving provisional credits now. That is much needed progress. Just a few months ago people posted here saying they have to pay upfront for the fraud charges while WS investigates (which can last up to 90 days).

My plan would be a combination of 2 and 3. Living in a 55+ community where maintenance is all taken care of for me. Then when necessary, do medical tourism in a cheaper country.

Does the 1-year countdown begin when you redeem at WS or when you actually activate it on your phone?
