Care Credit Canada

They seem to have vanished. I can only find the US information.

Anyone have any ideas if it's gone?

Thanks.

http://www.carecredit.ca/ But it looks like a collection of links. Either someone hacked their site or bought the domain name.

Have you asked Care Credit USA what they know about the Canadian version?

[Catty1]

Thanks, Anne. That link leads to a "parked" site - meaning it is for sale to another person who wants it.

I'll contact CC USA and see if they know anything.

Thanks!

Maybe this explains what is going on.

Thanks, kokopup. A little more digging and I found out that the press release at that link was released in 2006/07.

I searched the GE site, then finally sent them an email. The carecredit.ca referenced in the linked document went to yet another parked site.

Maybe they didn't find it profitable and it's gone.

Dang takeovers! lol

Thanks so much again.

I did email back to see if there was a time in the future when they would be accepting new accounts. This reply sounds extremely formulaic. lol

ETA: Got this reply immediately:

I do not know at this time.

Sorry
