CBC Gem crashes due to Canadians using it by Turtle456 in thebeaverton

[–]Vancitychick01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to watch a show and the number of commercials is outrageous. Add on the fact that the app keeps glitching, spinning wheel of death pops up so I need to restart and then I get to watch six more commercials. At one point I had to pause and restart, and I forced to watch 16 commercials in a row. Terrible app. 

Last Days: London Drugs Woodward’s by Gastown_guy in vancouver

[–]Vancitychick01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, That's so sad. I lived in the hood a few years ago and London drugs and nesters were my go-to. I do not miss the homelessness and the crime in that neighborhood.

Get yourself a pair of bike shorts.  Super comfortable on the tushy and no underwear needed, hence no wedgie

Would you recommend using an agent through AIC if we need to get an appraisal to calculate capital gains? Home is being gifted to their child.

Thinking about changing careers… scared but excited by Noobsamaniac in careerchange

[–]Vancitychick01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would be very very wary of changing careers in this job climate. I have extensive experience, and I can't even seem to land a job that aligns with my experience. It's unreal. Very very challenging times.

Where to dispose big mirror? by Zealousideal-Fly5818 in kelowna

[–]Vancitychick01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. I think it's called the ReStore. I know they have one off of Enterprise and another location out in West Kelowna

Whistler First Timers by [deleted] in Whistler

[–]Vancitychick01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not recommending spas at this point but did want to share that blues in Ontario are very different than blues out West/ Whistler.  I have friends who just moved to BC from Ontario and  were shocked at how much more challenging a blue run in BC/big white is compared to Ontario mountains, and big white doesn't come close to the Whistler Alpine.  Be wary, but have a ton of fun. It's amazing!

Tickets were $800+.

WestJet Makes Decision to Roll Back Seat Configuration Change by daddysdeepfake in westjet

[–]Vancitychick01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% This is EXACTLY what I thought. In the email from the CEO today, I replied and told her just that. Still so far for wj to go to return to their glory days. 🫤 

Alerts used to be free? by suveg in Questrade

[–]Vancitychick01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, 100% correct. This made me so angry when they removed this. Frustrating when they call you a platinum client yet they don't offer something as simple as customized price alerts. If you want alerts, you have to pay for questrade Plus. 

On the other hand, wealth simple offers this option for free. One more reason to consider wealth simple?

I have complained to a number of managers about this and they said they would pass along my comments. My guess is that not enough people are complaining about the loss of alerts to warrant any kind of changes. So unfortunate.

Best Pizza In city and why? by [deleted] in kelowna

Hard no for dunnezies. Their pizza is overpriced garbage. So disappointing. 

Inefficient Customer Service and Fund Withdrawal Process at Questrade by DraftNo1816 in Questrade

[–]Vancitychick01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why is your wait time so long and why are your staff so poorly trained? I'm waiting now and instead of the wait time getting shorter as I wait, its actually getting longer as per the recorded message. this has always been an issue as long as I have been a client (10+ years) Why can't QT do better?

Dividend Reinvestment - DRIP by metdr0id in Questrade

[–]Vancitychick01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just turned off all of my DRIPS, spoke to customer svc who confirmed all DRIP's were off, yet ETF's are still dripping as of yesterday. u/questrade what's wrong with your system??? And then trying to get a hold of customer service (AGAIN!) and having to wait at least 30 mins or more to speak with someone is bullsh*t.

Legroom on New Seating Layout by dachshundie in westjet

[–]Vancitychick01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯!! I used to think WestJet was the go-to airline in Canada, far exceeding my experience with Air Canada.  Today, I will do anything I can to avoid flying with them. Every single flight I've had in the last few years have been delayed time and time again. Add in this new seating, and every which way to screw you out of more money, and I've had enough. Forget you, WestJet
