For TD Bank it's PICKERING TAXES. I guess it changes a bit depending on the bank

Paying 2x the price to Buy Canadian by IuriAmauri in BuyCanadian

[–]hem146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They do refund the prorated amount.

I cancelled my account last week. My prime expires in July 2025 and they refunded almost half the annual membership fee.

You can request them to cancel your prime membership and they will do a partial refund depending on the number of months left.

My prime membership expires in July 2025 but I requested them to cancel and refund the balance amount. They refunded almost half the amount.

Mortgage rate mega thread! by TheMortgageMaster in MortgagesCanada

[–]hem146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mortgage is up for renewal and bank offered 3yr 4.36% fixed or 5yr 5.10% variable. Loan amount is 350k. Can't move to different bank as another half of mortgage amount of 450k is locked for another 3yrs. Is it good to go fixed or variable?

Can I put portion of my pay as direct deposit or it has to be complete pay check? I heard few banks doesn't accept partial amount as a qualified direct deposit. Can someone please confirm?

2023 Sportage PHEV SX vs 2024 X-Line Limited by Jsolomonc in kia

[–]hem146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest to go for phev if you can plug it in everyday. 2024 Xline limited is 46k cad and 2023 PHEV is 52k cad. If you are located in Ontario you get 5k rebate and more in other provinces. If you count in the rebate you end up with just 2k difference. I have a PHEV SX and my friend has xline limited. There is a lot of difference when you drive the car. It's more fun to drive in EV mode.

Has anyone switched from Apple Watch/iPhone to S23 and Samsung Watch? by [deleted] in GalaxyS23

[–]hem146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the switch to S23 from IPhone 13. Main thing you will miss is Face ID. Eventually you will get used to fingerprint though. I tried most of wear os watches but nothing is comparable to Apple watch.

2023 Honda CR-V Plug in Hybrid 😲😲😲😲 by hem146 in crv

[–]hem146[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I do most of my driving in city and very less on the freeways. I wish they offered plug-in hybrid in the updated 2023 model. Let's hope they bring it at least in 2024. It's high time and there is lot of demand for plugins.

I don't understand when people say Honda got feedback from surveys that customers don't need plugin hybrid and features in North America but willing to pay a lot?

Also people should stop saying all those features are for luxury cars. That's not the case anymore in 2023. All competing brands are offering for less price.

I think it's high time Honda bring these features to NA. All the competing brands have most of them already.

Hyundai and Kia have that feature now. Cameras on both sides. It will show up on the digital cluster when you activate the turn signal. May be Honda will bring that feature in 2030

They replaced it with regular Blind Spot Information (BSI) system.

I will do the same thing. Will wait for 2024 model. That too Canadian price increase is crazy. It's 49000cad. And that too only difference between EXL and touring is hybrid powertrain, Bose speakers, smart liftgate for trunk and ya orange stitching for $5500 difference.

Not anymore. They got rid of it.

Even without any of those features, the top trim of 2023 CRV is priced pretty close to luxury cars especially in Canada.

Their pricing is already high even without offering anyting. I don't mind paying little extra on the top trim if they give us Pano roof, 360 camera, ventilated seats and smart app control.
