w00t $25!!! That's like 1 major transaction...
Class Action lawsuits suck

don't know about you, but that's money in my book. (and i've only been abroad 3 times)

I am abroad very often. Elana could you please explain in simple terms what my options are besides for the $25 flat rate refund.. and what is the process. thanks.

if you've been abroad more often than the standard, you can claim i think 1-2% of money spent abroad. i think credit card holders got a mailing about this, but maybe they're not done sending this to everyone yet, i got mine 2 weeks ago.

must.remember.to.fill.out.and.send.

1 - 2% of the money spent abroad - over what period? I did not get any mailings.

the time period is from 1996.

btw, didn't any mailing either - a friend told me about it.

Good luck if you think you are ever going to get any money filling that stuff out.
