Getting a US Credit Card?
I was trying to order stuff of the Samsclub.com (US) website for delivery to a US address today. Like Priceline used to be, they dont accept cards from Canadian banks and must have the billing address with a State and Zip code (no pulldowns for provinces, no fields for post code)
So now I want to get a US visa card (US$, US Bank) but dont want a US bank account. And preferably one with Canadian links so I could pay my bills online from my Canadian Bank account. I have a US address I can use for the "billing address" but since my bills will go there evry month (and probably go astray/get delayed in the forwarding process) I would like a fully online and simple payment process. I thought I could use TD Waterbouse (Bank) in the US but they for some reason are not allowed to accept any new Canadian clients. I think it might be something to do with the Patriot Act? Anyone know how I would go about this. Specifically has anyone done it?
