But fibbi how are you going to pay the bill like some one said?  You need to pay in USD, so you still need to convert CAD to USD and you lose money on the conversion anyway, right?

Catpiano

SB ..  the "lost" is smaller ar ma ..

Just like from ebay, you can pay in US or pay in Cad, and ebay do the conversion for you ...


Anyway, small different, when we go US, we just use plastic anyway ...  unless buying big items from BH etc ... then I use my US credit card .. ^_^

    For the US credit card I got with TD Bank, I just paid with US fund in my US account.
Whenever the rate is good (like now) then I will convert some Cdn $ to US$ la... then can use it whenever I like la.

Is Alderwood newer than Bellevue?

no one shops at The Outlet Shoppes At Burlington?

If you buy coach stuff, it is usually 0.5% cheaper than the Seattle Outlet because of less tax.

Yes but strangely they did charge a little less tax than the Seattle Outlet.  Less people went there too so no need to fight for the bags too.

Just came back from the States yesterday. Costco @ exit 206 takes couple Canadian Debit cards, TD, Scotia, Royal Bank. And they have self checkouts, way less lineup there.
