This message is to serve two purposes: 1) to warn people about the business
practices of MBNA bank (who provides credit card services to AOPA "aircraft
owners and pilots association" customers)

The thick packet of changes to account terms they've been sending around
should provide plenty of warning all by itself. The new 3% surcharge on
non-USD transactions is enough by itself to get my card circular-filed.

I haven't heard anyone who's had a really positive experience of MBNA.
All my experiences of them have been negative (starting from the
'pre-approved AOPA credit card' that really wasn't pre-approved at all).
I won't touch MBNA with a six foot barge pole after their excuse for
'customer service'.
