yea I think basically what you have is like our Debit cards. It's probally just because you're card is Canadian or something.

Difference in currencies. I deal with a lot of people who own a condo at our resort and live in Canada. They have to get a Visa because Visa defaults to the currency of the country it's run in. Obviously, Interac doesn't do that.

Only other option for them is to operate a US currency account for drafts.. but you'd still probably need a Visa.

Damn Canadians. Cept Zoner.

There's you answer in a nut shell. Get yourself a visa/mastercard logo debit card and you should be golden.

When I was in Ft. Lewis in March I was trying to get something to eat and I went to about 3 different fast food places. Me in my ultimate wisdom decided not to bring any American money, but I thought my debit card would be fine. Turns out my debit card doesn't have a visa or mastercard logo on it, and therefore does not work in the states. Got some money off friends for some burgers. Twas all good. Now I have my credit card so I can just use that if I don't have cash.

However, it is true that Calgary has the highest number of interac transactions per capita in the world. That might go for Canada as well. A lot of people use debit here. Infact, I just used it this morning.

I'm saying debit/interac transactions as a whole. It doesn't really matter if certain systems don't work with each other, the principle is the same. That includes US/European systems.
