Redeem Your "Benjamins"

Pay attention all you “rain check-ing” friends! I might have found another way to save/make you some dough.

Apparently Visa and MasterCard overcharged American travelers on all foreign exchange transactions that took place between 2/1/1996 and 11/8/2006. If you spent any money on a credit or ATM card (while outside the US) during this time frame, you can submit for a very simple refund. You don't have to itemize or show receipts! All they are asking for is the total number of days you spent abroad and a classification as to whether they were for business/leisure/etc.

Here is the website: http://www.ccfsettlement.com/
You can also call 800-945-9890 and they will mail you a form.

P.S. Just think of my little financial tid-bits as part of Bucy’s Baby Steps to a Billion... Maybe I'll write a book :)
