Promotion 3: Monthly Millionaire Draw

Status: Active — August 2026 draw open

To check your entry count and the current draw date, tap the gift icon in the Wealthsimple app and go to Rewards Centre. This promotion stacks with the 1% Transfer Match and the referral bonus.

Promotion 4: Payroll Deposit Bonus

Status: Targeted — check your Rewards Centre

Wealthsimple periodically offers a cash bonus to clients who set up direct deposit (payroll) to their Wealthsimple chequing account. This is a targeted offer — not all accounts are eligible. To check if you have an active payroll deposit promotion, open the Wealthsimple app → gift icon → Rewards Centre.

If you do have this offer, the typical requirement is to set up your employer's payroll to deposit to your Wealthsimple account and receive at least one qualifying payroll deposit within a set window.
