Perhaps there is some fine print about.

I just know whenever you purchase something from overseas you get billed a small finance fee for money conversions and other blah blah explanations.

But I agree,

fuck em... fuck em in the ass.
Well, since I do not work at all and have a ton of time to spend on principles (end joke...) I did in fact email BA to ask them what they knew and thought of it as it really diminishes their value here in the US for US customers. Still awaiting a reply and I will let you know what they say or know about it and if there is in fact a small print on their website about it. Should be interesting to see actually, because if there IS a small print on their website about it then they are as guilty as Citi in this case.

Again, this is not about the money - it is just 3% but those 3% on a LARGE bill will turn out to be quite a lot and the difference between choosing BA over for instance AA to fly with to EU from US.

I will get to the bottom of this and open all cans of worms and if need be spend so much time of the CITI card customer service peoples time that the money they charge me will be gone in customer support time salary. Hehehe.
