Hey all,

I was wondering if some zen buyers can tell me the best way to get Zen for us Canadians without getting dinged to many charges and such.

Thanks b:thanks

    So far I have checked into currency rates and from what I can see as of today that it would cost 61$ CND roughly to get 50$ USD which is understandable since the zen charges are based on USD.

    It sucks to hear from you Alpine that you got dinged an extra 12$ for service possibly, not that that was the reason why it cost you more.

    There must be ways to get the zen almost on par as in my example of 61$ CND converted to the 50$ amount for zen.

    Please help!! :)b:surrender

    Nah there's not.

    I charged zen a couple of times, I'm in Ontario myself,it costs upwards of 60 USD per 5000 zen that you try to get, and there's no way for us to get an equivilant amount of zen, simply because PWI Entertainment is situated in the US.

    I have good luck with Paypal and US purchases, although I suppose the currency exchange has nothing to do with them and everything to do with your credit card provider.

    In my case (CIBC Visa) the service fees for currency exchange seems to be minimal, as I added $10 to my account and it came out to $12.45CDN, which is maybe a 1% fee, if that.

    Paypal, anything else is a complete waste of money/time, except Western Union but I'm not going to go half way across my town to make use of it.

    CIBC has a dollar credit card thingy that you can apply and get but if its just for the game.. meh. Paypal is nice too but I just use PayByCash -> Interac/Certapay (even kids should have debit cards these days).

    55 dollar value for 50 use dollars, and it usually comes out to 69 canadian to get it. At the current exchange, US$50 is around 67.50 CDN so.. guess it's kind of okay.
