Credit card foreign exchange refund deadline
May 30th is the last day to submit refund forms at https://www.ccfsettlement.com/claim/ for the class action lawsuit about MC/Visa/Diners charging ridiculous fees for foreign transactions. You don't have to know your refund ID, but it helps.
Option 1 is the no-brainer, you get $25.
Option 2 gets you a minimum of $25, or up to 1% of the average that people spend based on number of days you were outside the US from 1996-2006.
Option 3 gets you up to 3% (the actual fee your credit card company charged) but you have give credit card numbers and an estimate of how much you spent each year.
There are only a few cards that don't charge the fee nowadays... see Credit/Debit/ATM Cards and Foreign Exchange on flyerguide or the best credit card thread at fatwallet for cards with the lowest fees and highest cash back.
