Gave up on Wealthsimple Cash for a credit union account after 6 months

I was all in on Wealthsimple Cash back in January because of that 4% interest rate. But after 6 months I got tired of not being able to deposit cash or talk to a real person when my card got flagged at a gas station in Mississauga. My buddy runs a small accounting firm and he told me about Meridian Credit Union offering 3.2% on a high interest savings account plus full branch access. I switched 3 weeks ago and already feel way less stressed about not being able to reach support. Has anyone else found the trade off of losing that extra 0.8% worth it for actual customer service?

Woah, yeah that 0.8% is totally not worth the headache.

Buddy tried that. Spent three hours fixing it.

...and honestly that reminded me of the time my cousin tried to save like 2 bucks on a hose clamp for his truck and ended up with coolant all over his driveway. @milacraig probably saw the same thing happen to her buddy with that other fix. Sometimes the cheap route just costs you more in the long run, you know.
