  1. I know this is an old topic but I just came back from Europe and most countries are backtracking on solar credits, the rules are changing now that you are hooked to solar energy and government run energy companies which is the case in most countries, will get a piece of the action through fees or whatever they decide to get you pay for your privilege to use solar energy.

    Sounds familiar??

    I deposit a Scotia cheque in Canadian $'s to my Intercam account.They told me that I would get a better exchange rate if I did electronic transfers in Canadian dollars. There is no fee added on by Intercam so I would suspect that there isn't for an electronic transfer when they told me that I would get a better deal electronically.

    Canadian banks in general charge you 50$ to send an electronic payment and most have a restrictive amount they can send. Putting in your personal check is the cheapest way, usually fee free at both ends.

    Hi,

    Has anybody used an Intercam checking account to receive international wires? Seeing their fee brochure of their accounts: https://www.intercam.com.mx/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Comisiones_Cuentas-MXN-USD31720.pdf

    It seems they charge 100 USD + IVA for each incoming wire. Anybody can confirm? 

    Maybe if you have investments in their brokerage they waive a lot of the fees?

     

    Thank you

    As a client you probably have certain privileges, if you are interested make an appointment and talk to one of the Officers, they all speak English and are very helpful. I have received Intl. wires, never paid any fee at the incoming bank however the outgoing bank charges 50 CAD$. To avoid any bank charges of this kinds I use the old fashioned check which I deposit as needed for my cash flow. No idea how this works in the US who's banks are less regulated than in Canada.

    Soon you can only turn left at the Libramiento intersection....without a left turn lane, so they are going to have to red light east bound traffic to allow left turns or who knows what they have planned.

     

     

     

    Not even locals know how this will all turn out, hopefully they will install the right lights to make sure we can turn left and or right on a proper signal.

    Wizz is a new provider of triple-play , its advertising has begun to invade the entire state and is offered as an alternative to the dominant Megacable, as they have simple packages where you can combine the internet, telephony and cable television.

    Their offer is based on economic prices and "simplicity" , since up to now they only count on three packages:

    TV

    The first of them is TV Max that for 200 pesos a month offers 89 channels in SD quality, up to four extensions without additional charge and paying the same rent, and only 100 pesos of installation.

    Or, we can choose the HD Max package which for 250 pesos a month grows the offer up to 129 SD and 40 HD channels, but here of the four extensions only one offers the content in high definition, but we can contract additional extensions for an extra cost, as well as premium channels or a DVR decoder to record content, in the same way the installation is maintained at 100 pesos.

    Telephony + Internet

    This package offers for 230 pesos per month the telephone service with unlimited calls to all of Mexico, the United States and Canada, in addition to internet of up to 5 megabytes, where the telephone set and the WiFi modem are included at no additional cost. charges for installation.

    Telephony + Internet + TV Max

    And finally the most complete package, which for 250 pesos a monthoffers the three services with the same benefits under the basic television service, where they mention that later there will also be a package with the three services under HD.

     

    I have been with WIZZ by default after Telecable was taken over with them. The price quoted in this post for TV only is not what I have been paying still do pay, its 315 Pesos per month.

    Will most of them flock back here?  Or will this year be a wait-and-see for a vaccine?  

    Anecdotally, on my walks around Ajijic I see a lot of vacant rentals for this time of year.  Same when I pass by Rental Offices, lots more available seasonal listings in their windows than normal.  https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/mexico-hopes-us-canadian-visitors-will-reactivate-tourism/

     

    The Canadian snowbirds will come, better here than stuck in the snow, US citizens have choices within the USA they might use those choices instead of Mexico.

    On Thursday I visited LMG and  had an interesting experience...They said they were not seeing any cash paying patients..They only wanted  patients with a supplement NOB insurance .

    I thought this very strange and some what suspicious of their motives ....could it be they have found a market niche  where they bill your insurance North American price(s) for any treatment

    Many in the medical profession prefer cash and no bill to avoid paying taxes, depriving the government of much needed cash!

    Is it possible to fly from PV to Toronto non-stop in the summer.  Just thought these were winter flights?

    Yes just check with the airlines, there might be some unknown to you such as Air Transat and others. The canadian embassy has a good info site on available flights, however they will not get involved with booking!

    Last year I signed by IRS tax refund check over to my son in Austin. No problem. Now he went to his bank with another signed over IRS check I mailed to him a few weeks ago and bank told him you can't sign over Treasury checks and that the check he cashed with them last year would probably bounce eventually (they have up to seven years). What can I do to cash my check? Help appreciated.

    I talked to my friendly canadian broker that I send a government refund with a friend, she agreed and when it was mailed from within Canada to her she put it into my account.

    Saturday morning at 8:30AM  card was used without problem.

    Great to know but did take no chance and went to Soriana instead, store much better organized than WM and all back on the shelves without employees blocking the passage like it seems the rule now at WM.

    I came down in 1997 and yes, some stores have said we do not take credit cards, but if they take them, I have yet to be turned down. I have been told by places like Costco, that we only take VISA cards, and mine happen to be Visa cards, so there was never a problem

    Agree long back in the past this did happen regularly except in large stores of which we had none at Lakeshore.
