I am going to be risky and wait a little longer.....

I have to pay off the trip by the 12th for sure, but am going to wait to get US money until August

Hey, me too!!!! I have to pay on the 12th. As for my cash, I will continue to watch the rate for a while. My DD8 has been saving her money for a while and we exchanged it on Saturday. For her small amount the rate doesn't matter much. She only had $61 (all in $5 and quarters...the guy at the bank was really nice to her and praised her for saving).

BTW, where are you staying?

 

[Albertan mom]

We are at the RPR at US Aug 23-26.

We check into POP Aug 26-Sept 2.

We are so excited!!!!!!

Where are you staying?

We are at POFQ from Aug 25 - Sept 3.

In the beginnig I wanted POP but when I booked it wasn't available. I thought I might try for it later so I called several times and nothing opened up. So now I have decided that seeing as how we are probably driving down, I get a hotel upgrade as my reward for wasting 4 of my vacation days in the car.

If a cheap flights appears...I still get rewarded

I agree that CIBC USD bank accounts are not good.. it is a pain to have to go in to deposit and withdraw. I like being able to do it online.

The CIBC ATM machines by my house have USD capabilities to them....I can do all transactions there (including transfers, withdrawals, and deposits)....maybe this isn't everywhere, but I think it's great! I can also see my USD account transactions online with them...I wonder if this is something they are just rolling out????

Just paid my balance! It was due by July 18th, and at that rate, it felt very good!

The closest one to me is in Hagersville, which is about 45 minutes away so not really an option.
Can you deposit Canadian money and they convert it to USD or not?
