trinigal Posted June 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hi, is it possible to book excursions/internet and be charged in CAD, to avoid the foreign fee. I think I've read it's possible but unsure how to do it? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveandpeas Posted June 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I don't really know - but I just paid for the HIA and the price given was CAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there’s no way around it unless you have a US$ credit card which are affiliated with all our major banks here. 1 minute ago, loveandpeas said: I don't really know - but I just paid for the HIA and the price given was CAD. HIA is priced in Canadian dollars if your booking is in Cdn $. It is part o the booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: 2 weeks ago, the exchange was VERY good for us Canucks 😃 Edited June 12, 2023 by rodndonna more info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted June 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Amazingly enough I was able to pay for my cabana in cdn a couple months back. That's the first time that has ever happened. I wish the option was open to book in cdn more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lissie Posted June 12, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Look at getting a wise card - wise .com - you can run foreign balances including US$ and then use the pre-paid visa card to make payments- that will give you the best exchange rate plus no hidden fees. I'm not Canadian but New Zealand and have an even weaker $ than yours 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
