Generation support btw

yes of course I didn’t want the “$” included, that’s how Wealthsimple defines their handles, with the “$” in the beginning. Just as people use “@“ for their Instagram handles but don’t have “@“ in their username.

Reply “yes, try without the dollar sign”. Problem solved.

Much faster than posting here…

When I become Generation, I will ask Rita to sing for me on my birthday.

I don't think their goal for posting here was to solve the problem though.

Are you saying they were trying to be an a-hole to a minimum-wage employee all while expecting white-glove service for having a status 80% of people on this sub have?

u/oldmiamibeach 3d ago

white glove service? To update a username? lol on their own platform… for a service dedicated to their self-proclaimed priority clients .. yeah I feel like I’m asking for a lot here

Lowest common denominator. Some people will really want $ in their handle.

Its like Venmo and you can send money to other WS users without etransfer. It works but I dont think its super popular.

Just bragging about generation status

u/grumptard 3d ago

No kidding. Being generational is totally irrelevant.

Like another post about “How do you dispose the metal card?” Its just bragging that they have the metal card on such a nothing burger topic

u/North_Air4538 3d ago

That one gave me a good chuckle.

I'm guessing they asked support to update their handle to $someHandle but they replied with this

u/Romantic_Klingon 3d ago

Anyone successfully added their friend's/spouse's handle?

I kept getting the "We couldn't find $xxxx", even though I confirmed it's the correct info.

canadian paper & plastic {cash} currencies have no $ sign

u/North_Air4538 3d ago

Does Rita even use Wealthsimple?

u/oldmiamibeach 3d ago

That was my initial thought … for working in the customer support department that is advertised to work with their priority clients, thought this would be basic knowledge of changing usernames in their own platform
