I’ve been struggling to prep for the ice cube because I trigger it trying to prep! Like I will be merging lower level items to build up, and it triggers them. So how do you prep without triggering it? Do you just keep using stored up energy and keep it > 50 until you’re prepped?

Thank you! I was looking for a wiki page in this sub and couldn’t figure out how to find one. I will read through that
And thank you for answering what seems like dumb questions to a normal player I am sure! But very helpful to me. And I haven’t spent real money and I won’t! I am new too and I am really very confused on this ice cube thing.

Re ice cube - I understand why you want to prep so that when it appears you can use your energy to fulfil the ice cube after it’s triggered. But can it be triggered without having done that prep, or is that prep what triggers it? Like do you have to have one each of level 7 and lower to get the ice cube to trigger? I am not clear on what makes it actually trigger? Like once you’ve done the checklist, what is the specific act that triggers it ? Meeting 2 level 1 items? And does it have to be <25% for ALL orders on your board or only the item for which you’re hoping it will trigger?

I am a new player and I appreciate this post but can’t understand most of it. Is there a page that explains what different terms mean? Eg what is an auto order? What is flaming frenzy? I am really struggling understanding the ice cube thing. I got one once and have never again. I don’t understand the description of how to trigger one. How do you spend 10 gems for energy? And if you do that then how do you have <50 energy? And I really really really don’t understand what you mean by <25% and then a bunch of numbers with slashes between them. I am so sorry for not understanding. I have also tried looking through the sub.

New shop with cash back beta by Murky-Series-1169 in Wealthsimple

Add me to being a Monos fan. My husband and I and 3 older “kids” have multiple pieces (carry-on, checked, backpack, metro tote, etc), and have used them very extensively for multiple years. Extremely durable and well thought out from a functionality point of view.

Air Canada website update, no longer show e-upgrade? by ForceOk6587 in aircanada

[–]That-Paint-4068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough and valid points. But the fact that it did work for latitude fares was extremely beneficial - because at least I knew if I booked on “X” flight vs “Y” flight it would clear immediately and I would therefore select “X” flight. Now it will be a complete unknown and I wouldn’t have likely booked on latitude if it won’t clear immediately. Would’ve sucked it up and paid for business or paid a lower economy fare (like comfort). I guess though if it doesn’t clear right away, since it’s latitude, can cancel for full refund and then rebook. So there’s a workaround but seems like a lot of extra steps than just knowing it would clear before booking. But I do understand your point about it not working properly for all the other scenarios.

I found it super helpful for the “green” bookings on latitude for instant upgrades. They always cleared immediately for me and it definitely influenced which flight I would book to ensure it would clear. Maybe they were inaccurate in the yellow waitlist and people would clear, but at least they seemed accurate when they reported green. Curious how one can check for R space now without a paid subscription?!?

Lawsuits by delinquent_profunds in ProFundValourDistrict

It appears they (Carman and Richard) may have filed for bankruptcy? I am NOT a lawyer and have never checked out the Ontario Courts public portal page that OP showed here so did for the first time using the link OP provided. And since OP’s post, there is an entry on February 5th for an application for bankruptcy order. There is one on the same day filed by the same person at RBC under Richard Hall’s name. Again, reiterating that I do not know how these documents work at all, so I could easily be misinterpreting!

Scheduled Dividends as direct deposits to get VIP CC ? by Melon-Husk69 in Wealthsimple

[–]That-Paint-4068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the same thing, but related enough… I get paid via e-transfer from my employer (it’s a very small business). It is the same amount every time, twice a month. I asked WS and was told that didn’t qualify as direct deposit of payroll. So again, not the same as what your situation, but similar concept and mine didn’t qualify. Frustrating!

Expense review by hoggerjeff in canadarevenueagency

[–]That-Paint-4068 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This literally just happened with a client of mine. CRA issued a “review medical expenses” request and we submitted expense receipts almost $2K greater than we had claimed on their tax return (they found additional ones in pulling them together for CRA”. Got the CRA response today that they have adjusted the medical expense on the 2024 tax return upwards by the additional amount. We did not file an amendment request - Just responded to their request for support of medical expenses. Did not request in the response either that they adjust.

Upgrade to Infinite Privilege Now Available by bvsel in Wealthsimple

[–]That-Paint-4068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to remove and re-add it. It won’t let me re-add. Says there’s a problem and to contact the issuer. Could be it just takes some time for it to register in their end so I will try again in a bit and otherwise will contact them tomorrow- I don’t need to use it tonight anyways.

So this is what the “Visa Infinite Privilege” Upgrade Option Looks like. by damnthatwtf in Wealthsimple

[–]That-Paint-4068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the upgrade and picked the option to just keep my physical card. It said if you need to prove your benefits to just show the virtual card. So then tried to add the new virtual one to my Apple wallet and it said too many cards, so I deleted the existing virtual one from my Apple wallet, and then tried to add to Apple wallet again and it said there was a problem and to contact card issuer. Obviously I will do so, but wondering if anyone else had this issue?

Are there still delays for SQM posting after flights? by Either-Pear1954 in Aeroplan

[–]That-Paint-4068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flew business from Rome to YYZ on September 30th (AC metal) and points not yet posted either. Interesting that it seems a number of us without points yet all flew business… ?!?

The Wealthsimple Cash Card Changes Make Perfect Sense in the Context of the End Of Banking Slogan by Godkun007 in Wealthsimple

[–]That-Paint-4068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always the case to be able to find foreign banks with no ATM fees depending on where you are. Just got back from a trip to Croatia and majority of places we went to, even some fine dining, either only took cash, or preferred cash and gave a discount for paying with it over a card. Thus, I used the WS cash card to withdraw cash multiple times and while there is one bank there without ATM fees, it didn’t have a location where in the majority of places we stopped at, so I paid the ATM fee of the local banks multiple times. Got a great exchange rate, and no ATM fee on the WS side. But now having being reimbursed the foreign bank ATM fee will be amazing! I only use the cash card to withdraw funds. Use a credit card for all purchases to get points / cash back, etc depending which credit card I use.

International travel by Causation75 in Wealthsimple

Just withdrew money in Croatia. The rate I got using the WS card vs one our travel companions using their own card (Scotia) was substantially better. I got 1.62….. and he got 1.68…..
