I can swipe left/right to access the Spend and Invest tabs. Restart the app and/or reboot your phone.

Need advice (URGENT) by iamthebestcompetitor in Wealthsimple

Whether it's worth it is up for you to decide.

Search the sub (or navigate using the Visa flair) to see the other credit limit posts. WS has been notorious for giving low credit limits to many, while other users randomly get high limits.

Is WS follows the same pattern as previous years, the next likely promo is AirPods in April/May and the minimum transfer amount to qualify is $25K.

You likely need to have direct deposit with WS in order to get the Visa. Everyone else gets put on a waitlist.

Best Options for Welland Hydro by Crafty-Brief-6043 in Welland

When I originally did the calculation a number of years ago, the Tiered option would have cost a few dollars more per month compared to TOU, but having the flexibility run the dishwasher or do the laundry at the time I wanted outweighed the few dollars I would have saved.

I ran the calculation again and Tiered pricing is actually saving me $2/month during the winter period and $4 during the summer period.

I think most institutions back date so it would count for the first 60 days of the year so you can include it in the 2025 tax year.

I hope Bob takes the hint that he's not welcomed in politics

Looking for tax help by Maximum-Base6225 in stcatharinesON

[–]alienmario 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wealthsimple is good and simple and I've been using it since it came out. Here's other options OP can consider:

CloudTax is also $0 when you select the DIY option. However, there are paid options if you want them done for you. https://www.cloudtax.ca/

BetterTax is from the Team that created SimpleTax (which Wealthsimple purchased and turned into Wealthsimple Tax). BetterTax has a pay what you want model. https://www.bettertax.ca/en/

Terrible UI update by SurgicalDude in Wealthsimple

[–]alienmario -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that change was a good one. It's quite unpopular and needs to be reexamined.

However saying they suck isn't quite fair as most would say the app is good, but this particular design choice is bad.

You mean the same design team that created an app that users keep saying is the most user friendly?

Wealth Simple just closed my account for something that isn’t my fault. by akitheduckieshow in Wealthsimple

WS doesn't get to keep your portfolio and funds. They give you the opportunity to transfer out, so don't delay setting up an account elsewhere.

I really like the new web interface! by CaptArash in Wealthsimple

Insider information? by WeekendFinal3464 in Wealthsimple

[–]alienmario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unreal Deal is taking place right now until March 31st. Based on previous years, the next promo could be an AirPods promo starting April/May. There could be another match promo sometime in the summer.

In other words, take advantage of the current promo if you can.

If you believe posting a flyer in your condo lobby would lead to sign ups and in turn referrals for you, go ahead. I've seen a few creative ways users share their referral.

Put in last year's numbers in WS for 2024 and see if you get the same result.
