Q:
A: I would recommend that you simply put your hotel, car rental, or restaurant bills on your credit card, and the credit card company will give you the daily US-CAD exchange rate when it gets posted to your account. For local smaller meals, souvenirs, and small purchases, simply go to the local ATM machine with your bank card and get some Canadian funds. It will be withdrawn from your bank and you (again) get the daily exchange rate. You can do this if your bank card is part of the Interac or Plus system. Keep in mind that a inter-bank fee may be charged (from $1.00 to $3.50) and so you should probably take out enough money each time so that the cost is absorbed. In other words, take out $200 once instead of $50 four times to save on these charges...
