You're an idiot.

Meloche monnex for me too. I was with AMA paying almost 1200/mth for my piece of crap 95 4 door sunfire. I switched over monnex last week and am now down to 748 including collision. I do get a discount for being 30. You also get another 5% for switching your house insurance over.

Furthermore, they don't charge a finance charge/interest for paying monthly.

Also, you don't have to just be APPEG or whatever. They list many universities that you can be alumni of.

You mean... per year, not per month right? Sounds a bit ridiculous that you'd be paying $14,400 for your 95 sunfire

I think almost all companies cover the APEGGA dues... Mine paid for my registration fee (~$100) and whatever other annual recurring fees there are.

My company doesn't pay for it and states it obviously on our intranet. I think a lot of companies don't advertise that they pay APPEGA fees but if you actually ask, they will pay for it.

Yes I mean per 1200/year. My car is barely worth 1200 period. Heck, I don't even know why I bother with collision coverage.

The APPEGA discount is also on the same tier as other professional organizations and designations (LLB, CA, etc), so it's not just 'geers who can save $$$ on insurance. University graduates are in the second tier, the discounts are very similar. They also have multi-vehicle discounts (5%) as well as combined insurance (home and auto) discounts another 5%.

And if they don't pay for it, at least the entire fee is tax-deductible.

Mine will pay them, but only when you become a professional member. EITs pay their own way. At least it's tax deductable.

Ha ha! No, i recognize the need for an engineering society, but i don't like them muscleing around G&G, or telling universities their not accredited so their grads can't work in alberta.

It's too UofC/UofA centric.

What other universities are in Alberta other than UofA and UofC?

It's not APEGGA that determines whether a univesity is accredited, it's the Canadian Accreditation board that determines that. APEGGA is a governing body for engineers in Alberta.

Yes, engineers are egocentric, but how do they muscle G&G?

I'm a Student member of Apegga (Not EIT), can I still get a discount with TD/MM?

Seems like I can't get an online quote either.

Yes you can get the APEGGA discount. You'll just have to call MM and give them your membership number

If you take a non-accredited program, and the course material was adequate, you can get registered with APEGGA by writing subject-matter exams. Not sure how many, it may be a lot.
