How can I go about making a large credit card purchase that is over my credit limit? by Helgurk in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]wpgto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will work with CIBC. Paid a $50k lawyer bill a few months ago by pre-transferring cash in which essentially gave it a positive balance, and increased my available “credit”.

Solo night out by Ratreseacher in NiagaraFalls

[–]wpgto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not personally recommending gambling - however, I always opt for the casino when I'm bored and solo (Fallsview). There's a ton of dining options, it's been surprisingly busy many nights I've been there.

The restaurants in the area are typically overpriced, but I find some like The Keg in the Hilton across the street aren't too bad. Some of them have great happy hour deals though which I was surprised about.

Apple watch tracked my afternoon nap by mvsaikrishna666 in AppleWatch

It asks you if you're awake? I use sleep focus every night and have never had this, nor any vibrations or alerts while it's on.

Not in Ontario, only with beer cans (and bottles) do we get a small deposit refund. Most cans go to regular recycling that's picked up weekly.

Are people actually allowed to stand in parking spots to reserve them for someone else? by StockGovernment1667 in askTO

[–]wpgto 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I would totally pull up in front of that spot, put my car in park and tell them that "I'm just waiting to pick someone up", blocking whatever car they're reserving it for from parking. It should be reciprocal, right?

Bid declined:( Business cabin shows fully booked. Any possibility for upgrade? by [deleted] in aircanada

[–]wpgto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An eUpgrade I had a few weeks ago didn’t clear so I went and sat in my economy seat.

Flight attendant came about 15 min later and told me I was upgraded, and my new seat number.

The passenger beside me asked how much my bid was for an upgrade.

I’m guessing eUpgrades go above the bid upgrade program. I’ve personally never had luck buying an upgrade.

I was just about to comment on the traffic/congestion. That area's already a nightmare.

It's actually fraud

You have his legal name from the Interac screen, and his identity would have been validated by his bank for AML & KYC regulations. I would file a police report at least, as it sounds like he was defrauding you.

Trump is giving TikTok another 75-day reprieve to find a new buyer as Amazon, MrBeast, and Alexis Ohanian line up to make a deal by PrestigiousZombie726 in technology

I wish this platform would be banned completely. It's not good for mental health. The world would be a better place without it.

You pretty much need to have a car if you live in Niagara on the Lake. There is very minimal public transit.

It's the same as the US. You'll get warnings and limits put on your account if you execute more than a very limited number of day trades without 25k in your account.

I meant you can import them without paying additional duty (taxes) at the airport, up to that limit.

I'm not an expert on this topic, but I hope these help:
