Clarification on exchange rates
So my question is, for those of us that live in the US, we have the benefit of the USD being a little bit stronger at the present moment. So should we send $150 USD for the pre-reg? or something a little less since the price is $150 CND.

Re: Clarification on exchange rates
Not sure how the US system works, but here you can request that a money order be filled out for a given currency. So the money order would be filled out at $150 CDN, and you would just pay wahatever the going exchange rate is for the money order. May be the least confusing option, if available?

Best bet, exchange your big america bucks into canadian on your side on the border beforehand for better rates and ease at the dealer room, (we all do the same concept for Botcon)

Once you get used to our wacky multicoloured money and two dollar coins, youll wonder how you ever did without them.

Yeah. I like Loonies and Toonies FAR more than bills.

Re: Clarification on exchange rates
With regards to the actual conversion, as of today's rate it'll cost you about $120 US (including the 4% the exchange rate people keep).

Re: Clarification on exchange rates
What I have learned is to not exchange your money at all, but to use the ATMs provided in the country. Yes, you pay a fee, but it is a fairer rate than ANY border exchange rate. And use your credit card whenever you can.

Word of warning: The atm in the lobby drains UBER FAST at the con, so if you can pull money ahead of time, I suggest doing so.

Re: Clarification on exchange rates
I heard that happened at the MBCC. Apparently, there was no bank machine with money in it for like a 5 block radius.

Yeah, between the line that'll be there and the supply and the fees, transfer a bunch of cash at a bank a few days before you come, and it'll save you some hassle.
I'm pretty sure the pre-reg is in CDN, not USD. Though I'm sure if you sent it in USD, they wouldn't mind. :P
