  1. Would hotels take a visa debit as a credit card?

      Finally I can use my hotel experience to use!

       

      Unless you have an American Debit you cant pre-authorize on Canadian debit cards as far as I'm aware. However I'd say a majority of hotels take debit deposits (usually $150-$200) plus room plus tax. They usually make you a "cash-only" guest which means taking away your phone/PPV/mini-bar services and room charges at restaurants or other facilities within the hotels services are disabled as well.

       

      By standard at check-out an employee has to go check your room prior to check-out to ensure no damage has occurred and any appliances have been stolen before they can give you back a deposit. 

       

      Its definitely more effort than its worth, everyone in the hotel industry prefers credit as its much easier to check-in and check-out guests. **Side tip, never use pre-paid credit cards, they will not work and you will have a hard time getting your money back because a deposit on one of those credit cards creates a black hole for the funds...Hope this helps, lemme know if you have any other hotel q's!

  2. Been offered Giroux for my Ovechkin/Faulk in a long term keeper league pts only. I see Ovechkin on a slow decline and Giroux is 3 years younger and a center who is more likely to get pts. Thoughts? :D

      Thanks for the help guys. Yea, Ovi hasn't declined yet, but it could happen eventually. I just feel Giroux would be better long term as he is 3 years younger and centers tend to be more durable than wingers from what I've seen. Goals/assists are 1 pt each so its not the goals, but point factor long term... Aiyaa, keeper decisions that keep me up at night :<

  3. Would you folks prefer Huberdeau or Draisaitl in a long term keeper league 1 pt per G/A? :D

    1. Gabes24

      Gabes24

      Well alot of Edmonton fans from HFboards think he will be 100% playing on the 1st PP, which could result in Drai playing 1st line at even strength here and there, I don't expect Lucic to play the full season on the 1st line. 

       

      Some people seem to think that Yak will have a resurgence as well :blink: Well if you can't trade him.... plug him on the  1st line lol

      Awesome, I do like Huberdeau more and their 1st PP with Yandle this year will be amazing. I was on the fence before but with the reminder of Eastern vs Western opposition this makes it a no brainer.

       

      Draisitl I might have to pick up in the 2nd round as you never know if they fully convert him to a winger and stick him on even strength with McDavid that could be amazing.. Thanks!!!

  7. Quick question CDC... I quit my job and had 4 k in vacation pay (over 2 yrs) and a 600 dollar paycheck, i only got paid around 2,600... is that normal tax deduction for that pay bracket? Haven't seen my paystub yet... Signed worried.

    1. Gabes24

      Gabes24

      yeah i gotcha ari, well i had about 1100-1200 for each of the last 2 years backed up and 600 from my final week of actual work. I get that totally since my "bracket" is that high up, as long as in the long run i get it paid back haha. That's good to hear I just have to play the waiting game now, thanks for helping straighten it out goalie13/arigold, much appreciated! :D
