Re: [lace] Re: Convention - Money
Eileen has made an EXCELLENT point!! Last year, a friend was unable to use her card because she was suddenly miles away from home and the card company suspected fraud.

If you are using any credit or debit cards, be sure to contact the customer support people at your financial institution and tell them when and where you are traveling. If you don't, you might not be able to use it at all. With increased security for fraud, many institutions are getting very strict about that.

RE: [lace] Re: Convention - Money
On the off chance that this proves helpful to someone, I thought I'd pass this along: When I went to my bank branch this morning to try to obtain some Canadian currency, I learned that my bank (BankAmerica) has a relationship with a bank in Canada (ScotiaBank), whereby I won't have to pay any bank fees to use Scotia's atm machines. Since BA charges $5 if I use a non-Scotia atm machine in Canada, plus whatever the host bank charges, this was definitely a good tip. I think the nearest Scotia atm is about 1/2 mile away from the convention center, but I think it will be worth the walk. Thought that some of you might find it worth calling your own banks to check if they have similar partnerships. Looking forward to seeing you all in Montreal, Carolyn - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
