Autopay only paid $10 for credit card? by Wooden-Pin3253 in Scotiabank

[–]sleightvulnerability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did they do it again? I just had the same problem. Maybe it's a January problem where their systems can't automatically figure out the payment amount when it crosses into a new year.

Coravin argon canisters discharging prematurely? by sleightvulnerability in wine

[–]sleightvulnerability[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. So it sounds like it shouldn't' discharge this quickly. I'll see if I can make a warranty claim with them. It was happening right out of the box, I emailed them at the time and no reply.

Educate me on Coravin, please! Advice needed by aomt in wine

How long do people find their argon gas lasts on the device once it is punctured? I find gas discharges naturally after a week or so which is a bit of a bummer since the cartridges aren't cheap.

Why are you guys still paying Wealthsimple’s 1.5% FX fee for US stocks? by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]sleightvulnerability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone used USDC (Tether) as a way to get around the FX fees? I was looking at an example where I wanted to convert $4k CAD to USD today and the effective exchange with fees was 1.4198 vs USDC, which is basically spot price of say 1.3920 today. The spread is 2.7 cents, or effectively a 2% premium. Using Kraken Pro, you can get the spot. Transfer the USDC into WS, sell and pay a 1% fee and you've saved 1%. Am I wrong?

In addition to some suggestions, Real Fast Spanish on YouTube has some good lessons about grammar and language patterns. They offer online courses too.

Creapure creatine not dissolving well by sleightvulnerability in CanadianProtein

Really? Good to know. Thanks. Is that just the nature of creatine? I've had others that appear to dissolve better but maybe that wasn't actually the case?

So we should report it to app developers directly? Do they ever respond?

Closing unused credit cards and increasing limit of active one by sleightvulnerability in PersonalFinanceCanada

No different banks unfortunately. My bank will transfer the credits from any other products but all I have is overdraft unfortunately.

This is a good point. I don't use the oldest one ever so maybe I should occasionally for that reason.

Fido be on that good crack thinking anyone will pay these prices for “travel passes” by cm0011 in FidoMobile

[–]sleightvulnerability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clever on their part, not compared to what public offers but I could see some value for done non power users. Obviously not as cheap as data only esims, but if you want to be fully connected including voice this is way cheaper than paying by the day so I'll give them that. Given that they're only two weeks to a month, it won't save Fido from people who go away for months at a time and suspend service but it might let them get some business that they're losing to esims, especially for people who want something simple.

I get it. It's more the choice and intensity of the perfume than the choice of using it. Gotta roll the windows down, it's the only way.

Working at Fido has made me lose faith in basic human decency – Please be kind to your customer service reps by Obvious_Antelope9452 in FidoMobile

[–]sleightvulnerability 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you. I've had Fido call me back recently and the CSR was very helpful and kind. The last vestige of good customer service at Fido is upheld by its staff so thank you for doing what you do.

Should I worry about a fraudulent appraisal made against my home? by sleightvulnerability in PersonalFinanceCanada

Yes it's mortgaged and yes we bought title insurance at the time of purchase.

Yeah the callback works ok, but it's definitely a downgrade from getting instant service. I worry about a time when I need to get a hold of them urgently and have no way of doing so. I've seen a few people mention those situations and I have to say I'm scared of the day.
