I was flying from Mammoth Mountain to San Francisco on United today. Clear skies, no wind on the ground. I checked the flight status and it said "On Schedule." Happy days! However, when I arrived at the airport, the United rep said the aircraft couldn't land because it was too windy, so it...

Hi I am spending about 3 months a year in the USA and am getting slugged by 3% overseas transaction fees. I am looking around for a card that does not have this fee. So far it looks like: 28 degree Citibank Plus Bankwest Platinum Is there any other card I should consider? Thank you for...
