Interesting article in today's SMH (Sun 20 Sept09) about airlines charging multiple credit card fees for single transactions, and reaping millions of dollars in the process (see link below).
credit card airlines
It seems that all domestic airlines impose "per person, per flight" surcharges for credit payments, which means that a family of four travelling interstate (return) must pay eight separate credit card fees on one online transaction. That's a significant and unneccessary impost that clearly does not reflect the cost of the transaction. Seems that APRA is still asleep at the wheel.
......and I thought Telstra's corporate behavior was bad.
