Free cheques? (for QC residents)

[malaca]

I received a BMO fee increase notice today.
The new unlimited plan apparently has free cheques.
If you keep a 4500$ that month you don't pay the 25$ monthly fee.

So maybe it is possible to switch to that plan, get the cheques, and switch back?

I could just sign up for a FREE PC Financial account and receive as many free cheques as I want.

deal dead i guess

send me some free cheques, preferrably signed, but otherwise blank

That's very labour intensive and take at least 2 days to get the job done. Not hot at all. I don't think ppl are still using cheques(may be 1 or 2 a month), last time I order cheque was like 2 years ago. Not worth the time in my opinion.

That's not available in all provinces unfortunately.

Yeah, I only use them to pay the rent. But last time I tried to get a few I looked around and the cheapest I could find was to get 200 cheques (for about 40$?).

I wish I could apply... I guess we're already separated from Canada, as far as the banks are concerned.

Who can apply?
Account holders must be the age of majority in their province of residence. Account holders must be a resident of Canada; unfortunately our services are not currently available to residents of Quebec.

LOL Quebec gets screwed for everything.

I'm surprised we don't have a term for it yet. Someone should come up with one.

Not everything. It's easier to PM @ Staples in Montreal than in T.O.

yea, there's western BC ... but don't forget the rockies & kootenays (the mountains are also part of alberta!)

quebec has their own little world with the way the gov't and things such as lottery/contests are treated there. good place to live or visit, would be the best if it wasn't for some of that holier than thou french attitude. no offense, just sayin it the way it is great place overall.

Just do like I did, subscribe to PC Financial and enter your usual address except for a slight modification: choose Ontario as your province. My application went through without a hitch and they even corrected my address. I got both accounts (chequings + savings) along with a PCF MasterCard. I've been using them for over a year without any issue whatsover.
