The financial site I was looking at predicted American $ at .90 over the winter. I like your $1.05 number better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easyrider Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 perhaps even more important than the exchange rate is what you actually pay for a canadian dollar, in other words, the commision. At my bank Friday the 7th a canadian dollar cost $1.05 US. Can anyone beat that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did not bother to convert. fyi RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLH Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Thanks. I was wondering if I needed to geet plenty of CDN. cash or the u.s $ worked just fine. Not every place takes a card though most do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I had tried using the card, but found that although the exchange rates were competitive, the fees charged were rather exorbanent and I would frankly rather just pay cash. I too remember when going to Canada to ride for a long weekend, including gas and food was $500 and that was livin' it up! Gas was a LOT cheaper and the dollar worth so much more! Who says the "olden days" weren't better!? The sleds may be more sophisticated with better engines and suspension, but boy has the price sure jumped across the board!

schooter Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Feds just drop the lending rate, might be a good idea to exchange some $ now before it de - values more. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkw Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 FYI - just returning from a mid-week Chaudiere trip and we rode from St Georges to Riv D Loup. At the Petro Canada station next to the Universal, we bought $72 CDN worth of gas and I gave her $80US. She said she needed an additional $.25 or some number. I explained to her that the exchange was basically even and she insisted that was not the case. So I gave her my Visa (and they paid 3%). Just be aware that there may be some variety in exchange rates this season. On a better note, the trails are fantastic and we saw about 10 sleds in 3 days of riding!

GW GKW, looks like it will be hit or miss on the money at par exchange, I suppose each business has its own Policy. As mentioned early, we didn't have any problem, but we did gas up at the Petro before the Universal. Great to hear that your trip went well, the conditions are prime!!

plain-rev Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 When I travel through canada I use my credit card and/or I exchange my money at a cdn. bank..I don't expect the kid pumping gas to be current on exchange rates.
