This may be a little off-topic (OT), but it affects my paddling in Canada so maybe others can help out. If it is OT, please email me directly, not the list. Thanks. My VISA provider (Wells Fargo) is about to implement some additional charges on transactions I make in other countries. I can not quite make out the bankese, but I think they will be tacking on about **three percent** for VISA purchases made in other currencies! I think I have enjoyed either no surcharge, or only a **one percent** surcharge until now (change goes into effect May 1). Anybody got a major VISA provider which does NOT tack on **three percent?** -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
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. Bill on Bowen > This may be a little off-topic (OT), but it affects my paddling in Canada so > maybe others can help out.
