Having nightmares again HWP? FFS it was just a cute little turtle!

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

Never heard of PC Finance! Where can I find out about them? They're certainly not in Whistler that's for sure!

Re the phone plan, I've only found one so far that allows unlimited incoming calls and you have to pay extra for the priviledge. :rolleyes: Maybe you guys have it easier in Alberta! ;)

There are no true branches, so of course they are not in Whistler. However you can apply online or by phone, and can use CIBC and CIBC related "amicus" ATM machines to access funds with no fees.

If you want to find a kiosk in a Loblaws store then Vancouver is your nearest bet:(

One of my favourite things about Canadian money is defacing it:

and when there was a 1 dollar bill you could fold it in such as way that it said 'banane du Canada' and showed the queen. :) Can't find a piccie though!

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

It's alright. I'll remember and get you back at some point. Iain too! :p

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

Sweet! Thanks. Yeah nearest is Vancouver but it could work...I'll look into it. :) Hopefully the other banks will start to follow suit.

Loved the spock thing. Never seen that before:)

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

Dont matter if the nearest is Vancouver. You can use CIBC machines ;) .
Which kinda begs the question why do CIBC customers pay for services? Are they subsidising us???? :D

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

You are evil. :mad:

Just youuuuuuu wait!!!! :mad: :mad:


:D

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

I take it you can pay in cheques by post?

By the way the winter sports comment referred to Whistler. Not the whole of Canada! I wasn't THAT ignorant. lol

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

Just feed them into a CIBC ATM, they are widespread. Although maybe not the ones that can accept deposits:(

You can get money out at the machine at the 7-11 on main though.

Maybe give them a call and see, or else keep a minimalist account to pay cheques into with a local bank or CU, then transfer the money to your PC account at your convenience to do all your other transactions? Otherwise save up those cheques and pay them in when you are nearer civilisation:)

Loblaws brands include canadian superstore, No Frills,Zehrs, "Your Independent" and a bunch of others, all of which sell "Presidents Choice" products as there premium own brand, and where you can redeem the grocery points you get for having the account. (As I have my mortgage with them I recently received over $200 worth of points...better than air miles for sure!).

I always figured Whistler was pretty big, but I guess its really not.

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

You just post your checks (do we use US or English spelling for that one ;) ) in the slot on the machine

BTW dont you have a loblaws equivalent up there?

LOL even if the winter sports comment referred to whistler DOH!!! ;)

OH btw do you have a spare room for 2010????????? Theres a :beer: in it for you :D

Re: I didn't realise that....
 

Never heard of loblaws either. Ok so maybe I am ignorant! lol. We live in a little Whistler bubble up here...no need to associate with the real world! :)

I wish I had a room for myself for 2010! I'm only here on a visitor visa right now and have to leave next week. :( Hopefully I'll get PR by 2010. ;)
