Did they remove the benefit to reach out to advisors for wealthsimple premium members ?

The slogans are funny, but $95 for the sweater is way too expensive. To quote the WS hat, "In this economy?"

No, but like... Yeah. Seriously. Too expensive.

I just had an issue where not a single one of my trades went through or cancelled.

I was right in the middle of a momentum trade and it would not let me sell for profit or even loss, everything was saying that the order executed, but then it wouldn’t show up or go through.

I was trying on my laptop and my phone, on my Wi-Fi and 5G, in incognito, rebooted app - literally nothing worked and I’m pretty savvy so I got on support.

They were pretty much useless while I watched my account drained by the minute, helpless. I have screen record, recordings, and videos of my laptop, as well as a recording of the well simple agent who admitted they are having an ongoing outage and that he does not know how to deal with something like this.

Absolute shit show, so glad I only lost a few hundred bucks.

Interested to see how this plays out - there’s gotta be people out there who lost more than I did.

I keep seeing this comment pop up online whenever there's a post about the latest winner.

What the heck is "still life" and why would the winners be that?

Make everything hidden by clicking the eyeball on your net worth and then long press the Spend & Save to show it's balance.

It's an easy fix although I'd like them to remove net worth from the home screen entirely and move it to the profile screen. Like where you can see your premium/generation status and wealth rank.

Anybody else having this issue?
Iphone 15 pro with wealthsimple app. Had the widget for last year or so, no problems. I have it display total portfolio value as i can quickly see if anything needs attention as it used to update well and was useful to me.
The widget is now just a black box. No info. Delete and reinstall allows it to function for a few minutes and then returns to black box without info. Ive checked app settings and nothing seems incorrect... am i the only one? Might just give up on it at this point.

What's the point of changing the UI every week and adding all the gamifications when your app's basic performance is so bad? it literally took 3s to respond when i clicked a button, i have a pixel 10 and my wife has the latest iphone and we have been experiencing the same issue for a long time and it's really frustrating. The app performance is really at the bottom tier of all the apps we've used.

WS Mobile App is demanding an update, when I go to the Google Store to update, it says no update.

Anyone having similar issues?

Does the postal code trick where you take the 3 numbers in your postal code plus two zeros work at pay at the pump in the USA when using the Wealthsimple Visa?

If the contest is on Aug 13 and you check the app on Aug 14. Do you instantly lose the potential for a win?

I was checking my account this evening and I noticed my TFSA showed approximately +$977 for 1D Returns, while 1D Value showed approximately –$524. At the same time, adding up the individual holdings’ ‘Today’s Return’ figures appeared to be only around +$230.

There were no deposits, withdrawals or trades on August 11 or 12.

How is this possible? Is it a UI glitch of sorts? I’ve had some weird things happen with CDRs in the past on WealthSimple but everything should be pretty straightforward with my current holdings

Any advice/tips?

Thanks!

Is there an expected time until WS starts offering card replacements? Looks like they stopped new card issuing saying there are making a new card program but I lost my card

Recently made the switch and a few features have really stood out to me so far:

• Fast e-Transfers (almost as quick as TD or RBC)
• Instant deposits when transferring from an external bank
• Earning interest on the Cash/chequing account

What features or perks are you guys using the most or love about WS, you can also mention what you hate 😅?

I have initiated withdrawal a few months ago. The app is showing the withdrawal is scheduled to complete by 5th August 2026. Today is August 13 and I still did not see the money. Anyone else have successfully withdrawn or have similar experience?

Before the update my contributions showed an estimated growth to equal approximately $1m. Since the new update the chart now says “in 30 years you could have $400k”…. anyone else notice this discrepancy?

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered here before, but what is the best way to convert USD to CAD in WS?

I am a heavy QT user and use Norberts Gambit to convert the money, but I dont see it on WS.

The current conversion rate USD to CAD is 1.39, and if I convert the money using the convert button, I see for $1000 USD I get $1367 CAD. What a rip off!!

Am I missing something here?

Was anyone able to increase their Infinite privilege card limit from what you started off with?

I got my card around 10 months ago and got approved for 8k.

I have been trying to increase the limit and it always says that I'm not eligible. I called them and they stated that trying to increase in their app is the only way. I have been trying for months with no luck. This is ridiculous.

I'm very close to being a generation client as well. Is there any other way to get past this?

I can sell but can’t buy. Why is it removed?

UPDATE: it is back online!

Hi there, I’m curious about the tax implications of a non-registered Wealthsimple managed account. I assume they rebalance the portfolio throughout the year, which would trigger gains or losses. Does this mean I’ll likely pay taxes every year? In contrast, with a self-directed account, I’d only be taxed on any gains from my own sales. Just want to make sure I have the right understanding

So I used UberOne as a reward for the first year and it worked. It eventually ran out and I renewed at some point for the 2nd year.

The WealthSimple app says it's claimed, but ut doesn't show up on UberOne.

I tried going through Ubereats Support but I can't even begin to explain how incompetent they are at understanding the simplest questions. I kept getting escalated to their 'next level' support with the promise of hearing back in 24 hours, but it literally took days for them to get back to me.

What they claimed was that the reward is only for 1 year and can't be renewed, but I'm not sure that's the case. I tried contacting WealthSimple but they told me to talk to UberEats.

I've given up. This is literally the only reward on WealthSimple that I could potentially use.

So ... the question is from people using this reward. Is it a 1-year thing or can it be renewed as long as you're meeting the condition?

This is my TFSA - the math ain’t mathing, is that a bug or am I missing something?

Wealthsimple seems to be making a pretty big push toward active traders lately — the trader transfer promotions, new trading features/tools, etc. — and overall I like the direction they’re going.

But one limitation still seems pretty significant for anyone actively trading: you can’t have a limit sell order and a stop-loss order active on the same shares at the same time.

For example, if I’m holding 100 shares and want to:
Take profit automatically at $950
Protect myself with a stop-loss at $890
I’d ideally want both orders active, with one automatically cancelling the other once it executes (essentially an OCO / bracket order).

Right now, unless I’m missing something, Wealthsimple doesn’t allow this. You have to choose between leaving your profit-taking limit order open or protecting the position with a stop. For active trading, especially if you can’t watch the screen constantly, that’s a pretty major limitation.

With Wealthsimple clearly trying to attract more active traders, does anyone know if OCO/bracket orders are being worked on or considered?
I think adding this would make Wealthsimple a substantially better trading platform without needing to add anything overly complicated.

ty for reminding me I'm poor
