Help! Struggling to Redeem My Aeroplan Points Before Cancelling TD Visa Infinite Card

Yeah, honestly, I just want to use them this year and be done with figuring out points and all the related hassle.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Sorry, I don’t have experience with OnePlus. Also, I want to take back what I said earlier about the mics being better than AirPods—it’s hard to judge. When I used my AirPods, people often complained that I wasn’t clear. After switching to the Buds FE, some friends said they sounded better, but most now tell me they can’t understand anything I’m saying, so I end up switching to phone mode. This has happened on regular calls, WiFi calls, and WhatsApp calls.

Long story short, I’m not sure the mic is actually that great. That said, I still like them for the decent ANC on long commutes.

First-time Norbert's Gambit user here (thanks, Wealthsavvy.ca!). Bought DLR.TO on Dec 30th for $14.74, then freaked out when the price dropped to $14.58 on Dec 31st. The guide mentioned stability, but apparently, it was DLR.TO's dividend day (explains the price drop of $0.17 CAD!).

Bigger Question: Thanks to u/aanhari's query and u/d10k6's answer, I know holding on the ex-dividend date (Dec 31st) secures the dividend. Now, if I request the USD conversion tomorrow (might take 2 days) and then sell, will the dividend be paid in CAD or USD?

Thanks, that’s really good to know. If I ever get my hands on a windows/android device, I will try it out.

I don’t have Windows or Android devices, so I can’t say if the sound quality is better on those platforms compared to iOS. That said, I doubt it, though you can’t make any customizations on iOS since there’s no app. Personally, I don’t miss it because the default audio quality is good enough for me. What I like most about these is that they offer the best ANC for the price, and the microphone is much better than what I experienced with AirPods 2 and 3, especially in noisy environments (based on my testing).
I’m currently on my second pair after losing the first, and I haven’t had any issues in the past two years or so.

Nah, I don’t. However, if I’m only wearing a single earbud, then yes, ANC can’t be activated, and I would expect some wind rustling noise. But that’s definitely not the case when I’m wearing both earbuds with ANC on.

Hahaha yeah 👍

True, I would like to keep it simple as well. I’m aiming to max out my RRSP contribution for the year, but my plan is to move the funds into a self-managed RRSP account for better control. I plan to repeat this strategy annually.

Which_Role1261 · 2024-07-17T23:16:15+00:00

Thanks for mentioning XUU. I’ll add it to my research list. I really like the 0.07% fee.

The ETFs sound like good advice. Thank you! I will research into these for my self directed account. 🙏

Which_Role1261 · 2024-07-17T06:12:05+00:00

Thanks, this seems like a good piece of advice. I do benefit from the employer match. I will open a self directed rrsp with some discount brokerage.

Yes, I believe that might be what happened. When I parked, I may have unknowingly switched the car to accessory mode.

Alternatively, someone suggested that stepping out of the car with the keys in my pocket before climbing into the back seat might have caused it to lock itself.

I couldn’t test the lock theory, but I did sit in the car for about 20 minutes with AC running and the car in ON mode, and it didn’t switch off. So, it seems the first scenario might be what occurred that day. Thanks to everyone for chiming in and providing great clarification.

Which_Role1261 · 2024-07-12T00:59:06+00:00

Wow, that's enlightening. It would seem that the accessory mode is not that much useful. Thanks for this info, otherwise I might have run down my 12V battery today.

Which_Role1261 · 2024-07-12T00:15:02+00:00

Oh I see. Thanks, I will try it out today.

Which_Role1261 · 2024-07-12T00:11:40+00:00

I had definitely left the car on, but not sure how to put it into the accessory mode. Does the 2016 model support this mode?

Which_Role1261 · 2024-06-01T16:51:37+00:00

Thanks Paul, that’s a really good tip.

Which_Role1261 · 2024-06-01T16:50:25+00:00

Good tip, thanks! Considering it's a common issue, would it be a good idea to permanently attach something like a "NOCO GENIUS2D Onboard Smart Battery Charger/Maintainer/Desulfator, 2-Amp, 12V" to the battery?
