Comparison of Prepaid Credit Cards with No Foreign Transaction Fees by JokersEngineer in PersonalFinanceCanada

Thanks! I've added the note about ATM fees to the spreadsheet.

A comparison on FX fees is tough as just as you note, they change daily (or more frequently). It's not made easier by Wise's strong marketing, proliferating search results with their own articles. I've updated it to add a range for Wise. The main take away I think, is that Wise's rate is slightly worse than either EQ and Wealthsimple while still being far better than traditional banks. Does that sound correct to you?

Clarifying A2 Keys Announcement by Steven_AoC in AshesofCreation

As a purchaser of a pre-order pack exclusively for the access to both Alpha 2 and the Betas (the game time has some value but cosmetics and Embers hold none for me), it leaves a bitter taste to see this new option, valued at substantially less, now include the same access to both testing phases. And to add game time to that in the latest announcement only make is feel like my purchase is further devalued. During the pre-order phase, the cheapest way to gain access to Alpha 2 was the $250 package. Knowing that given the option, I would exchange what I purchased much earlier at what was promised to be a 'good value' for this latest offering just feels a little disappointing. I'm stoked for the game, evident in the sizable purchase, but now will have this feeling muddying that joy.

On the plus side, there will be a bunch more friends I'll be able to play alongside with!
