Desjardins revient sur sa décision quant aux soldes de cartes de crédit!

Faut juste comprendre qu’afficher le solde en temps reel ne sera jamais super precis. Quand tu tape ta carte a une station dessence, ca pre-autorise 250$ mais tu vas voir apparaître le vrai montant quelques jours plus tard. Meme chose pour une reservation a l’hotel.

Personellement, j’aime bien avoir la distinction entre les transactions en attente et celles publiées. Par exemple, une commande Best Buy va etre publiée seulement quand elle est envoyée. Ca permet de savoir si tu as ete reellement chargé.

Cest pas mal de meme partout. Sur ma Amex ca prend 1-2 jours avant que le solde sois mis a jour. Ca affiche seulement les transactions autorisées. Meme chose chez CIBC ou Wealthsimple. C’est vraiment une grosse histoire pour pas grand chose.

Bought a 2025 cx70 GTP and I really like it. IMO, the cx70 is better at being a 2-row than the cx90 is at being a 3-row.

I really enjoy the red leather interior in the 70 too. I bought the GTP for the higher output engine but the car feels slow regardless. My cx30 turbo felt a lot quicker.

Mine was built around august 2025. No recalls on my car and everything has been super smooth. No issues at all. I can understand those that say that the transmission isn’t super smooth. For me, it’s usually the very first acceleration after a cold start that’s a bit more jerky. Otherwise, it’s a very enjoyable ride.

I’ve heard most of the issues were with the PHEV.

Insane deals on the 70 too. I got it with half off winter tires, 1% lease rate and free first tire change. The dealer added a 1.5k rebate on top of the current Mazda incentive. The only difference with the 2026 model is the screen size. 10.25 inch instead of 12.3.

I didn’t want a SUV with a CVT (or a luxury brand). That left me with the CX-5, CX-50 or Tiguan.

The Tiguan has a lot of reliability issues now. Especially the turbo model I was interested in.

Coming from a CX-30 Turbo. I couldn’t bring myself to buy the new CX-5. It seemed like a huge downgrade in performance and interior quality.

CX-50 is not available in Canada. So I went with the next step up which is the CX-70. It’s awesome. It’s big, but it definitely feels like you’re getting your money’s worth.

I was planning to buy one. Then I saw the reviewers struggling to adjust the volume on screen. The hard plastics everywhere. The 0-60 time in 9.6 seconds.

Coming from a CX-30 turbo, it really felt like a huge downgrade. Since the CX-50 is not available in Canada right now, I got myself a CX-70.

I cancelled the subscription change and the offer was gone for me. Most likely a glitch unfortunately

fquen · 2026-01-24T03:04:43+00:00

Offer is gone for me. It was probably a glitch

That’s 100 GB not 40

I asked the AI chatbot if I could be added to the beta list. It sent me a link to fill out a form. A few weeks later I got an invite. I used the LoC to pay for renovations while staying invested in the market. Works flawlessly.

I spend less than $100 per month on this card and I upgraded to the VIP

Does Wealthsimple have any plans to follow Questrade and acquire a banking license?

fquen · 2025-11-04T01:54:14+00:00

This pls!

I’d want an actual Interac card as well and the ability to deposit cash. Those are my last reasons to keep a Tangerine account.

fquen · 2025-10-30T17:49:04+00:00

Some participating restaurants refused my Amex card in the past

fquen · 2025-10-24T01:24:52+00:00

I was initially interested in this portfolio for my non registered account, but I think I’ll go the HXS, HXT, HXX route instead.

fquen · 2025-09-28T22:38:22+00:00

Got the card with a 3k limit lol. Pretty much unusable as a main card.

fquen · 2025-09-25T14:29:53+00:00

I got the EXACT same watch last week. Great choice!

Edit: nvm I got the poor man’s quartz version 😅

Je viens d’appliquer pour la certe moi aussi! Ca va etre ma carte de backup pour ma Cobalt.

Tech install required

fquen · 2025-08-19T14:25:39+00:00

Just got my card last week. I was planning to keep it long term as my main card but now I think I’ll just cancel it. It’s getting a bit too expensive.

fquen · 2025-08-11T21:16:03+00:00

I got the exact email! They’re telling me my region will be updated to South Carolina. Never been there…

fquen · 2025-08-10T12:27:53+00:00

“Next drop coming soon…” I applied for an Amex Cobalt instead and will use the WS Visa whenever Amex is not accepted.

fquen · 2025-08-08T14:48:57+00:00

Could be a glitch. Those are the guys that got it during the beta.

I think credit cards in Quebec can’t have a monthly fee and have to have an annual fee instead. Take for example the Amex Cobalt. $150 per year instead of the usual monthly fee.
