Canadians can't withdraw in American Funds?

[adamstewart]

I am Canadian and therefore all of my bankroll withdrawls are converted from $US to $CDN.

However, I'm going to Vegas at the end of this month. Accordingly, I'll need American Dollars during trip... to play poker with, and for general vacation expenses.

I was going to set up another bank account in American funds(either through my regular bank or ING), and simply withdraw some of my online bankroll directly as American dollars. This way, I would be spared the exchange rate of transferring the money in and out of Canadian dollars.

However, I was just informed by Neteller Support that this is not possible. They say that Canadians can only have their Neteller accounts connected to Canadian Banks in Canadian funds.

That sucks.

Looks like I'm going to have to do the following:

* Cash out $US from my roll into $CDN (as usual)
* Exchange my $CDN for $US to take on vacation
* Whatever money I have left over in $US will have to tranferred back into $CDN.


That's getting hit with exchange rates THREE damn times!! Fckers.


Anyone have any other suggestions, or am I screwed?
