Why you need to be careful with rental car upgrades when using the CDW coverage from your credit card
– RewardsCanada.ca
If you recall we’ve had a couple posts surrounding one of my family’s car rentals recently. More specifically the 10 day rental in Maui:Earning Stories: 2,500 Aeroplan Miles on a Hertz SUV rental in Maui Redemption Stories: Using Diners Club Club Reward Points for a Hertz Car RentalEverything was fine for us and as we mentioned in those posts we were upgraded from a Ford Explorer or equivalent to a Infiniti QX80 that was fully loaded. When I looked up what this car was worth it was in the $70,000 to $80,000 range. The rental was with Hertz as being Hertz Gold Plus Rewards members makes the pick up easy and fast as Maui usually has pretty long line up at all their car rental offices. Also being Hertz Gold Plus rewards means they have my credit card on file, the Diners Club Club Rewards MasterCard and that I decline all insurance coverage, primarily the CDW. However, CDW coverage varies by card and by issuer. So when I found out about the upgrade I wasn’t concerned as Diners Club does not put a dollar limit on the car but they do exclude certain makes of cars…Should you sell your home before you buy another?

Q: We are moving and plan on buying before we sell. We know this is risky, but we are pretty confident our current house will sell relatively quickly. Is there a way to buy a home with, say 5% down, and then increase that down payment as soon as our current home sells? We’d like to keep the monthly mortgage payments on our new home as low as possible.— Confused about transaction timing, Toronto, Ont.
Answer No. 1 from Monika Furtado, Calgary residential realtor:
There are a number of factors to consider when moving between properties. The first consideration is cost. Can you afford to hold two properties should your current home sit on the market and not sell for a few months? If you can afford this option you are best to move forward with a 20% down payment to avoid unnecessary CMHC fees—fees that would be added to the purchase price of your second home if you put down less than 20%. However, by opting for an open mortgage or a home equity line of credit on the new home you could then put more money against the purchase of that home once your present house sells…
