Another thing that has been going on with credit cards, is that if you purchase something from overseas website, the credit card company charges you 1-3% for a money exchange/conversion fee...

credit card companies sent out a letter to cardholders informing people about this, but i am sure very few actually read it.

I ran into this when i purchased some software from European company and saw the additional CC charge.

Other interesting schemes, is when you use a pre-pay affinity card, they have fine print, where they deduct like $1 per month as a service fee, and other per transaction charges that drain the amount put in faster.
