Re: [Paddlewise] Exchange Rates on Plastic (OT?)

Dave,

How about

- applying for a Canadian Visa or M/C
- using Travelers cheques
- using interact card (atm)
- move to BC ( Gods country ) where the real paddling is!!
- and lets face it, your already getting 45 % + exchange rate
  in your favour!! The reason we haven't ventured across the
  border in many years.
