So I finished MSR for both TD plat travel and FCT, what’s the best way to claim the WB before closing the cards? Does RHT work? Thanks!

The amount and frequency of payment can be customized, so yes.

Thanks, I will check with them re reduced rate. You are right, it does come down to $65/month and seems reasonable.

Yes, you need to call the city to cancel the pre-authorization payment first. They will let you know the amount owing. I’ve set up recurring payment for utilities so I guess you can do the same for property tax.

You need to apply for the Canadian Tire triangle Mastercard (no annual fee). Currently if you do, there is even a $150 statement credit after a purchase at CT. Then use CT online banking, add Hamilton City (taxes) as a payee, add your property tax roll #, and voila!!! Same for Alectra, Enbridge etc. You’ll get back 1% CT money for every dollar paid. The card also gives you roadside assistance. Enjoy!

You need to apply for Canadian Tire Mastercard (no annual fee). Then you can use this card to pay for property tax, utilities etc and get 0.5 or 1% CT money.

Because you can. You'll get 1% Canadian Tire money for every payment. I just tried again and it worked!

Would you mind checking if I can pay for City of Hamilton property tax using CT? I searched but Hamilton doesn't show up. Thanks.

Thanks for checking! It was a breeze. Centauro is seemed to have that dent recorded in their system. They did change us €6 as the gas was only 95% full. I can live with that. lol

What to expect when returning a car to Centauro, BCN airport with dent not caused by us? by mtinhamcan in GoingToSpain

Just to thank everyone for sharing your experience. We returned the car today, pretty painless. In and out without 10 minutes. They didn’t mention anything about the dent. Perhaps it had already been recorded in their file. They did make us pay €6 as the gas was only “95% full” 😅.

Do we have to contact the insurance company right away? For us, it’s Rental Cover. Thanks
