I guess that is because they don't want any Canadian money.

I know that at Peace Arch you can use (US) cash or credit card, but I don't know for sure about any other crossing.

Do you have to inform them 72 hours before travel if your driving to the US or does it only apply when flying ?

Thanks

ESTA only applies when flying.

I actually jumped online and did it anyway but when I told the US border officer he laughed and said it only applied when flying.

And it is a pain, the website does not work properly and if you don't do it right it is a $5000 fine and they could also impound the aircraft.
