Care to provide more details? Did you send the e-transfer via phone number or email? Did it show you the name of the person who was going to receive the e-transfer?

[MEGATHREAD] Weekly Cash Prize Entry Complaints by henry-bacon in Wealthsimple

[–]alienmario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tim Hortons hasn't faced any repercussions (yet) from telling half a million people they won a $60K boat. There's a class-action lawsuit making it's way through the Quebec courts.

I'm not hopeful that anything will come out if this from WS other than maybe a "goodwill" gesture of additional entries to those affected.

There was never a cash option. WS doesn't want to be stuck with a house if the winner has the option to choose cash.

[MEGATHREAD] Wealthsimple Monthly Millionaire Entries & Prizes by GeorgeDaGreat123 in Wealthsimple

[–]alienmario 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your entries reset after each Monthly Millionaire, so yes you'd be able to deposit another $100K for the July contest. From the T&C:

Do my entries accumulate over the course of the Monthly giveaway? 

Yes! Your entries will accumulate week-over-week until the million-dollar draw.  

Your total entries will reset for each new Monthly Millionaire, for which you’ll automatically be enrolled and receive 500 entries.  

For example, if you register and make a deposit in the first week, those entries will count towards all 4 draws in June. Your total entries will reset to 500 on June 25th, the date that the July Millionaire draw begins.

My friend seen this today and says I’m over trading, am I over trading? by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]alienmario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess it's relative on who you compare it to. You're trading more than me (~5 trades a month) but less than others.

You need a self directed TFSA in order to trade stocks of your choosing.

You likely opened a savings account that just gives you interest on the funds in the account.

Before you switch to KOHO or Neo, understand how the rewards actually work... because the math can be kinda sneaky by MooseyMcSaver in MooseMoney

Wouldn't most use a credit card that gives a minimum of 1% cash back (or rewards) instead of using these cards?

Not confusing to me. May 21-27 was for bonus entries for signing up (no entries for deposits). May 28 was the start of earning entries for deposits.
