The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

No worries with my Visa credit card, except be sure you tell your credit card company that you are going to be in Canada or they may refuse charges. Both my Visa & Amex refuse out of US charges unless I approve them, I get the idea that's pretty much SOP these days. If I travel out of the country I always let my CC companies know my dates of travel and it's not an issue.



Edit: And why would anyone ever use a debit card? Credit cards are set up to protect you, debit cards are set up to drain the money from your bank account with no recourse. I don't have a debit card and see no reason for one.

I've never had a problem out of country. As Dave said, be sure to notify the banks of where you will be.
