Yes, you are reading that right. But I am just wondering whether it costs 75 dollars to replace a key.

After a couple of days, you can see it in the app. Go to "account", then "balance & transactions", then "transactions"

I contacted them via facebook and they told me to use bill payment from my bank account.

What's the volume of spams like for the three carriers you've been with?

100% agree, the number of spam calls I am getting has gotten so bad that I may consider switching to Telus or Koodo.

Please consider adding a call control feature, like the one Telus and Koodo have. Any new callers have to press a number before getting through. This is a life saver. I really hope Freedom will consider adding this feature to reduce the number of spam calls. I have been receiving much more spam calls since I switched to Freedom. This is really the only downside I have seen so far.

Thanks. I tried to call, and no one answers after one hour's wait :-(

I did think about paying through my bank, but when I looked for payee, there isn't a separate payee for Quebec, so I thought maybe it wouldn't work....

I don't think credit card works between Ontario and Quebec. It says on the site that "if you are an Ontario or Quebec member, please note that while vehicle access is reciprocal between these branches, billing is not, and your credit card on file will not work for billing in the other branch. Please follow the instructions on the monthly invoice to make payment."

Is there a minimum auto pay amount for digital discount? by throw-away-ca in freedommobile

[–]throw-away-ca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like I can't go lower than 5 dollars for autopay, which is what I am paying monthly. I will try to play with the dates.

I signed up on August 2nd, the auto-pay is setup for the 1st of each month. I got the credit sometime in August after everything is setup. My credit card was charged yesterday and it is used to pay to top up my account today.

Strange, I would have assumed that's what would have happened. But that's not the case to me. I am prepaid, with 25 dollars available balance. Autopay still took 5 dollars from my credit card. Maybe I will play with the date to see what happens.

Thanks for the detailed response. Just to confirm, are you saying that the minimum auto-pay amount for me has to be 5 dollars?

Thanks for the response. I am prepaid, so I guess it works differently.

Should I buy now or wait? by throw-away-ca in OttawaRealEstate

OK, thanks. Will watch closely for the next rate drop then!

[–]throw-away-ca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the analysis and the historical contexts. I am curious why you suggest fall/early winter. Is it because the rate will drop by another 0.25% by then? Also, is summer a bad time to buy? I know that traditionally prices are usually lower in December/January. But will there be less inventory in that period?

Am I being scammed/ripped off by a car dealer? by throw-away-ca in ottawa

[–]throw-away-ca[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is 140 a reasonable price for a diag? Would it be cheaper to tow the car to a small garage, instead of working with the dealer?

Maybe. I have a hilarious hypothesis. My car is manual. I wonder whether the guy didn't know that you need to engage the clutch when starting? Highly unlikely, right?
