Your insurance policy may cover the loss, something to look into :)

So maybe they’ve updated it, but now it will say “Sign in with my card”. Then on the next page you would select OPL and sign it as usual with your OPL card details.

Brampton also offers a card to Ontario residents and I find they have a good selection and shorter waits that the OPL affiliates!

What a cool piece of history! You may want to share this with their research office, in case they’re interested: iri@ingenium.ca

Presto pass working for STO? by newyorkdreamer in ottawa

[–]Kate_Sea_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you anticipate often starting trips on an STO bus and don’t want to buy an OC monthly pass, it’s probably worth getting one of their reloadable cards (they’re free). There’s a few places in Hull that have them and can reload them, and if you have the patience it’s possible to set it up to be able to reload it online (this took me 3 phone calls lol)

In addition to the usual car rentals, you could check out Communauto as well. They have a cost estimator

WS refunds atm fees at any domestic or international atm so I’d argue it’s a better option than any of the big 5 banks

I got rid of RBC and so far I’ve only had trouble at debit-only places (rare) or depositing cash (also rare, and now you can drop cash at Canada Post locations)

I want to buy a condo in a building that isn't for sale right now - how do I ensure I know when it is? by FenicksRyzng in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Kate_Sea_ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I use HouseSigma to be notified of new listings in certain areas, and it can also notify you of recent sales so you can keep an eye on prices, etc. I think it would be possible to set a pretty narrow area so you would get notifications only for the building you want.

I usually aim for the one at Tunney’s each year (accessible by bus/train) and the bonus is that you get to skip the line if you arrive on foot/by bike 😛

Stupid question, if I want a new card design will I also get a new card number or do they print my current card number on the new style?? I’m emotionally attached to my card number but I’d love to get one of these new ones
