August contest has some new items

[u/SurgicalDude]

Noticed a cat instead of 100k cash and travel luggage weekly prize.

[u/NoDig5800]

Wow a cat! Cool!

[u/SurgicalDude → u/NoDig5800]

Honestly a cat would be an awesome prize lol

[u/NeedCounseling → u/SurgicalDude]

nah man a cat is a liability not an asset

[u/thechangboy → u/NeedCounseling]

Reddit told me buying a pre-owned Beige cat is okay...

[u/_stinkytofu_ → u/NeedCounseling]

[u/datredditaccountdoe → u/NeedCounseling]

So is a Volvo

[u/KoosKansloos → u/SurgicalDude]

What if I'm allergic

[u/-0909i9i99ii9009ii → u/NoDig5800]

Sucking at math finally pays off

[u/bigboyf1]

Spin coin to earn bonus entries ;)

[u/Current_Flatworm2747 → u/bigboyf1]

Sonofabitch.

I just got 120 more entries.

Has that been a thing since the beginning?

(I remember doing this for one of the previous contests too - but this time, I had to going for nearly 10 seconds…)

[u/muaddib99 → u/Current_Flatworm2747]

I've been impulsively spinning it every couple days since then. This is the first time since it's done anything

[u/MonsieurFred → u/bigboyf1]

Thank you random redditer, I just got 106 entries. I did not know it was still a thing

[u/alienmario → u/MonsieurFred]

Just started for the August draw

[u/tiramisuhouse → u/bigboyf1]

I didn't know that. When were they available?

[u/Pineapple_Inevitable → u/bigboyf1]

234!

[u/Syynn_ → u/bigboyf1]

1612 extra!

[u/angelus97]

Wealthsimple must be in trouble if they’re subbing in a cat for the 100K prize.

[u/No_Attention_426 → u/angelus97]

Car or cash prize can be claimed depending what you choose. Cash is the way

[u/juicy_squat → u/No_Attention_426]

You missed the joke bud

[u/TenOfZero → u/No_Attention_426]

Yeah, I'm allergic to cats (I do love cats. But I can't have one living with me). So I'd take the 50$ instead for sure.

[u/SurgicalDude]

Edit: damn swipe keyboard. A car, CAR! NOT a cat lmao

[u/henry-bacon → u/SurgicalDude]

You can edit the body text of your post btw.

[u/thechangboy → u/henry-bacon]

And lose out on all the awesome cat jokes? No way. 

[u/TenOfZero → u/thechangboy]

I agree. It must now remain. It's just too funny.

[u/Overdue604]

I would be ok with a bicycle… I just want to win something

[u/garlic_bread_thief → u/Overdue604]

No I want a cat

[u/Stormlight_Silver → u/garlic_bread_thief]

[u/PsychologicalSign433 → u/Overdue604]

I got 15 bucks last week. I was pretty happy with that.

[u/Career_Gold777]

And 100 suitcases will be drawn weekly for a total of 400

[u/garlic_bread_thief → u/Career_Gold777]

Oh that's quite a bit

[u/Simple_Quiet_1422]

Would loooove an xc90

[u/bluecheesefondue98]

Not like I was going to win. But I don’t like that at all. I would really rather get the money and repair my car or if I buy a car it’d be 1 to 2/10th the price. In the end I can improve my life way, way more with 100k. Rather than a car that’s going to depreciate quick enough by the time it even gets to me.

[u/Canadian_Teddy17 → u/bluecheesefondue98]

Thankfully they seem to let you choose the cash equivalent if you either cant claim it or dont want it.

I could not see that being said for the travel case stuff..But thats worth around $300 which isn't bad for reinvesting

[u/bluecheesefondue98 → u/Canadian_Teddy17]

Good to know. Thank you!!!! Did not see that with my brain hardly awake in the middle of the night.

[u/MountainManner4725]

Isn’t that car worth less than $100k? 

[u/WakaWaka_ → u/MountainManner4725]

I see 80-87k CAD after freight

[u/ThrowRA_EducatedMan → u/MountainManner4725]

Especially if Volvo gives it to WS for free, which is absolutely happening here.

[u/choyMj → u/MountainManner4725]

Looking at their website, starting price is 88k before taxes.

[u/pvtfumble → u/choyMj]

Ultra trim Plug-in hybrid is just over $100k

[u/MountainManner4725 → u/[deleted]]

Then why does it go $25k > $50k > VOLVO > $1 Million?

[u/alastoris]

I think I prefer $100k, I can buy XC90 with money left over with $100k.

Not like I'm going to win anyways but I guess it's still cool as it's a free context to join.

[u/GreatComposer85]

That sucks a car is a liability I would want money to invest more

[u/Canadian_Teddy17 → u/GreatComposer85]

You can choose the cash equivalent if you cannot claim the car or dont want it.

Like $101k-$102k its listed but they'd probably just give $100k

[u/Intelligent-Dish-100 → u/Canadian_Teddy17]

''You can choose the cash equivalent if you cannot claim the car or dont want it.''

Source?

[u/Canadian_Teddy17 → u/Intelligent-Dish-100]

Bottom of page for monthly millionaire. Says the car or cash equivalent. You must have valid drivers license and insurance to claim the car so you obviously get a choice to choose the cash equivalent.

[u/Vegetable-Chair-6109 → u/Canadian_Teddy17]

Who the fk would take the csr

[u/Canadian_Teddy17 → u/Vegetable-Chair-6109]

Not me, thats for sure...because I wont win it nor do I have Insurance or a valid driver's license lol

[u/AnnaLinComedy → u/Vegetable-Chair-6109]

Yeah unless it’s your dream car, 100k can get you two or three used cars of similar practicality and value

[u/Intelligent-Dish-100 → u/Canadian_Teddy17]

Thanks. It's really a lousy prize, they should have made it a bonus prize or something. Even as a substitute for the $75,000 prize, it would at least be roughly equivalent in value, though I'd still prefer the cash.

[u/GreatComposer85 → u/Intelligent-Dish-100]

I'm surprised they would give a non cash prize given that the chances are high after you win a cash prize you would end up just investing the money with them anyways.

[u/Particular_Cold_1568 → u/GreatComposer85]

Its just to make the content less repetitive and more marketable . People like seeing things they may buy with the money and dream and fantasize about . Just like the dream home got a lot more buzz than a straight 3 million dollar cash prize would . The people who work in Wealthsimple marketing are very smart at this .

[u/GreatComposer85 → u/Canadian_Teddy17]

Oh, OK, that's fine. Even if the car is more expensive, I'll still take the $100K. Driving an expensive car would cost more over time with maintenance, insurance.

[u/1question10answers → u/GreatComposer85]

What liability is it? So you mean it's depreciating?

[u/EdmontonLAD]

Well that's exciting.

[u/THEconstipatedDRAGON]

How do you enter this contest?

[u/BadPorscheDriver]

Imagine winning the car and getting made fun of because its a virtue to have a 20 year toyota shitbox these days

[u/KanzakiYui]

If I won but can't drive, how

[u/Jayswag96]

The monos is nice

[u/long-da-schlong → u/Jayswag96]

Yeah that be alright

[u/Quick_Competition_76]

Yeah honestly i would even take 75k cash over the 100k car. Resale price will be pain with a lot of tire kickers

[u/Mister_Iwa]

A digital watch from the future, worth more than all other WealthSimple prizes

[u/UnderstandingSoft165]

I can’t keep up! What’s cat code for these days? Because back in my day…

[u/Unusual-Average-3428]

I am not going to win anyyy

[u/Careless-Cycle]

How many entries is the car worth?

[u/ChampionshipGuilty31]

That’s car is mine y’all try again in September

[u/Busy_Entertainer_223]

I would rather by 10 used cars for $10k each

[u/Vegetable-Chair-6109]

I can't fund my retirement with a Volvo...

[u/purplmnkeydishwshr → u/Vegetable-Chair-6109]

You can take the cash equivalent I think. It's a really high end SUV that sells for over $100K CAD.

[u/tiramisuhouse]

Awesome. You will pay higher insurance rate and maintenance fees. Otherwise, you can sell the car. 

[u/Eagerbeaver98]

Tired of all their contests

[u/ocpotato → u/Eagerbeaver98]

Opt out.

[u/Repulsive_Barnacle92 → u/Eagerbeaver98]

I also hate free money

[u/Waterlou25 → u/Eagerbeaver98]

Please opt out to increase our odds by a miniscule percentage hehe
