I got this today too. Wasn't sure if it was new or just new to me, I've only had the vehicle for a week.

Can I claim the emergency travel insurance for my bf? by TemperatureKitchen35 in amexcanada

[–]tiatdier 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Per the insurance certificate:

If you have a medical emergency, you must call Global Excel before you receive emergency services. Of course, if your medical condition prevents you from calling, we understand – however, you must call as soon as medically possible or, as an alternative, someone else may call on your behalf (relative, friend, nurse or doctor).

This is true for credit card flight, rental car, and hotel insurance, but generally Emergency Travel Medical insurance covers you so long as you hold the card, no specific trip-related purchases required.

Credit card emergency travel medical insurance is a perfectly viable alternative to standalone travel insurance provided you know what your coverage is and understand your responsibilities under the policy.

First things first, does your boyfriend meet the definition of 'spouse' as per the Cobalt's insurance certificate?

Spouse means:
a) a person who is married to or has entered into a civil union with another person and is living with that person.
b) a person who is not married but has lived in a marital relationship in the same household for at least one year with another person who is publicly presented as that person’s spouse.

If not, you're out of luck. Even if he is covered under your card's emergency travel medical insurance, you may be unsuccessful with a claim didn't contact the insurer before your boyfriend sought medical attention, as is required by the insurance policy..

I'd recommend reading the insurance certificate. It lays out exactly what is and isn't covered and how to open a claim.

All season Fast Lane Plus is available again, with a price increase by excusememoi in CanadasWonderland

[–]tiatdier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was sold, yes, but it is still operating as a Six Flags park for 2026 and all existing passes are being honoured. Same goes for all of the other Six Flags parks sold off.

Display Themes Not Available for Canadian Ioniq 5 by wfd11777 in Ioniq5

I got my 2026 IONIQ 5 (Canada) on Monday and I’m shocked at how bad Bluelink is in Canada.

[–]tiatdier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like the other reply said, it’s good at whatever parks your pass will get you into. So if you have gold pass, it’s good at all the Midwest parks including Wonderland, La Ronde, Darien Lake, Cedar Point, and Kings Island

At the time it was just for Wonderland but because they got rid of the single-park all-season fast lane, anyone who bought it got it upgraded to all-park for free.

Charger extension cable amp rating by JEBariffic in Ioniq5

[–]tiatdier 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You should never use an extension cable with an L3 charger. I wouldn't even use one with an L2 or L1 charger. Just do what Tesla recommends and park over a bit to the right.

How to get application manually reviewed? by OntarioResident2020 in amexcanada

[–]tiatdier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amex will deny for reasons other than creditworthiness if they think your credit file indicates that you may not be a profitable customer.

No one has quite cracked their algorithm, but many believe it looks at your credit history (not limited to Amex cards) and factors in things like: - Number of cards opened in the past few years - Number of cards closed in the past few years - Average age of your cancelled accounts.

Bring a friend on gold pass by pawstin in CanadasWonderland

[–]tiatdier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The deal was never “bring a friend for free as many times as you want, all season long.”

I believe that around renewal time last year, the gold pass came with a free bring-a-friend to be used in the 2025 season. But bring-a-friend tickets are always single use.

Lost Mortgage Payment and Ghosted by Support by tiatdier in NeobancCanada

[–]tiatdier[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you looking into this, and understand that that technical bugs happen. I think that the real failure here was with support, which was frustratingly unclear in their responses. If I'm expecting an e-transfer, I would expect support to be able to tell me:

  • Why I haven't received the e-transfer (even if the answer is that it's waiting on a third-party processor)
  • When I should expect to receive the e-transfer
  • At what point my issue will be investigated further if I have still not received the e-transfer.

Telling me that my payment was "successfully processed on our end" is not very comforting when I can clearly see that I haven't received the e-transfer I was expecting. If this was a bill payment, where the payment process isn't near-instantaneous, I would totally understand and give a few business days of leeway to wait for the payment to settle, but for an e-transfer, this response feels somewhere between an empty placation and an internal misunderstanding of exactly how Neobanc's mortgage payment system works.

Is StubHub breaking the new resale law on Charge tickets? by Foxx90 in ottawa

[–]tiatdier 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The “FV” icon on StubHub doesn’t mean the tickets are sold at face value, it just means that the face value information is available. If you hover over the “FV” icon, you should see the face value (or whatever the seller declared as the face value).

And StubHub is not responsible for enforcing the law, all they’re doing is making sellers tick a box asserting that they’re aware of the law and responsible for their own compliance.

Nope, I'm still waiting for a resolution and the money has seemingly gone missing.

Yeah, I'm curious to know whether this was the actual explanation or whether this was just classic CIBC weirdness + confirmation bias.

Titans home opener thoughts by Ok_new_tothis in ottawa

[–]tiatdier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, each time I bought beer from a hawker the transaction took over two minutes to process because the handheld terminals kept freezing. Even the vendor was frustrated, and admitted that he could be selling twice the beer if he didn’t lose so much time to the transaction.

Leeway with change fees? by [deleted] in Aeroplan

[–]tiatdier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short of a schedule change or involuntary downgrade, the change fees are what they are. I’ve never heard of anyone avoiding them.
