So even though the true rate is above par, after the fee's and everything your CAD dollar is still worth less than the US dollar after everything is said and done.

Credit cards (almost all) always give you a crappy rate because they know most people don't have a US credit card so those people have no choice but to use their CAD credit card for US purchases. Which is why they give you the worst rate because they know you'll use your CAD credit card for US purchases.

Whenever I buy stuff in the states or online and need to pay with $US I use my TD US Visa card. So the purchase is charged in $US and I just go to my bank and do an exchange to save some money. To some people this isn't worth it especially if you only spend a few hundred $US. But, I buy enough things in $US I get some savings. I think BMO has a free US Visa card with no annual fee if you're interested or TD has their $US card free if you have a "select service" account.
If it's BMO, it is most likely a mastercard.

And they do not have a free one. They have one for $25 annual fee.

Just putting this up for shits and giggles.

As long as it doesn't go below 75, it's all good.

Anyone else remember all the doom and gloom people predicting 60 cents by the end of the year, etc, etc?

Where are these idiots now?
