Not really. Go into a CIBC branch and buy some foreign currency and also a pre-paid Visa gift card.Tell the rep you want to pay with your credit card.

It would be stupid to code it as a purchase.....real stupid.

Can you confirm that it codes as a purchase? If so, I'll take advantage of stupidity!
