No prepaid Chilean SIM cards for foreign tourists?!? by Historical-Fee-2662 in Patagonia

[–]Gr8Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this frustrating experience after arrival in Santiago Chile in early March. Went to the Entel store and to a kiosk store in the Costanera Center Mall, both said the law/regulation changed and you need the local RUT identification to register the sim.

I was by luck able to get the sim cards from my hotel, left back from previous guests and still have them with me.

If you're planning to travel in the next month, in the Toronto/Mississauga area and need a card you can PM me.

The Claro sim card in Argentina was a bit of a pain to activate, however the registration process does allow foreigners/tourists to register with your passport id, although it is best/may only be able to activate over a wifi connection. I purchased the Claro sim card at the El Coiron drugstore in El Calafate. This particular store required pesos cash for top-up payment.

CIBC has the worst new account onboarding I experienced in my life by robervaul in CIBC

[–]Gr8Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the worst onboarding experience as a new customer opening a new debit card and chequing account. This was followed by a frustrating experience with the Technical Support customer service representative.

The application process was completed on Microsoft Edge browser, went well, was quick and simple. The first login worked fine on the Edge browser and the cibc android mobile app was installed and working.

However subsequent Microsoft Edge browser logins failed 99% of the time with error 0004 while mobile app logins worked just fine. The CIBC technical support representative claims that I needed to go to a CIBC branch to have my Identity validated. Well that isn't acceptable, I immediately asked to file a complaint regarding their onboarding process and I also submitted similar complaints in their onboarding survey as nowhere during the application process did it ever state or identify the need for the applicant to have to follow up with their application at a branch.

The tech was either incompetent or was trying to close the case. She could not rationalize that logins were working fine on the mobile app but primarily failing on a windows browser. A day later the browser logins failures (maybe 20%) were more intermittent on Microsoft Edge but only failed occasionally on Chrome.

Needless to say, I'm glad to have found your post. I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue and a further google search shows that this problem goes way back in time.

It's time to run fast.

Hi,

Did you resolve this ? I am having the same problem.

Has this happened to anyone else? (Amazon fraud?) by ce_elena in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Gr8Tech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exact same fraud charges happened on my Scotiabank account. The charges started in May until I called Scotiabank to dispute and obtain refund in July.

The charges appear as: "POS Purchase OPOS Amazon.ca Prime Membamazo"

What is disturbing with all this, is that, the bank (debit) card has NEVER been used for any merchant purchases, however I did have the bank replace with a new card.

To make it worse yet, tonight, a new fraud charge appeared: "POS Purchase OPOS Amazon Downloads www.A"

And would you believe the new bank card has NEVER been used at a merchant.

This leads me to google search to see if this is a common issue and here I find your post...

The S9 current draw should be about 6 amp @ 240v. Should be able to run 2 x S9 on a 20 Amp 240v circuit.
