this is my very first family vacation and of course things couldn't go smoothly to start, that would just be too easy! First, my trip cost more than my cc limit so I told my TA I would have to exchange money from my Canadian bank account and get an American money order. No problem right? WRONG! I deal with a bank (President's Choice Financial) Not sure if you have these types in the US but there is no actual branch to visit. All of my banking is done online so I never get any banking fees. I just found out that this is a great way to go until you need large sums of money withdrawn.
I call the 1-800 number and they tell me they will send the cash by post and I will recieve it in 1-2 business days. That was the 23rd, it is now the 29th and no money! I call them to find out it was sent to the wrong address about 10 houses away from me and someone signed for it!!!! I thought it would just be a money order but no, they sent CASH! Never heard of that before. Anyways, now a Canada Post rep has to approach these people and politely ask for the money back. Then they have to forward it to American Express who will then reissue it to me! And they are still charging me the $12.50 to have it delivered in 2 business days! Now I may not have this deposit until after the June 4 dealine for the dining plan! Terribly sorry to ramble but I am just sooo frustrated right now, tks for letting me vent!
My husband does not know that I now the address of where the money went to, should I tell him and have him "politely" ask for the money? I need a drink! Keep your fingers crossed for us!
