Having been screwed multiple times by credit card companies in the
three
years we've been a vendor (at the hotel), I can tell you that credit
card
companies are run by the biggest pack of scum on the planet. They
will
screw anyone and everyone, without provocation or excuse, to make a
nickel.

Now you're coming off as the whiney one. Birds of a feather with the OP?

Well, we may both be whining, but we're certainly seeing the issue from
different ends of the telescope.


I'm whining? I adhere to contracts and absorb my losses and don't advertise
them AND I'M WHINING?


He's worried about getting screwed by a fellow pilot who used his unused
credit at the pump. Others have suggested that he inform the credit card
company, in an effort to receive credit for the "unauthorized" charge.

Fine, he should. But first he comes in as "Hey, did one of you rip me off??"

A adult would say what happened and ask "What should I do? Should I call the
CC company? Talk to the FBO?"

Jay, where are your great "conservative values"? :~)

BTW, my initial poiint was your jumpoff the create the strawman.

I, on the other hand, am speaking from experience with dishonest card
holders who dispute legitimate charges, and are backed up by their
criminally complicit credit card companies.

Geez, listen to yourself. What does that tangent have to do with his case.
He screwed up royally and ANAICT, never accepted responsibility for that
screw up. Would you accpt such behavior from your kids, though they're MUCH
younger?

If the original poster informs
his CC company, and they actually credit him back the disputed amount,
they
WILL charge the FBO, no questions asked, sight unseen. It is their
standard
policy -- and the FBO will have very little recourse.

Bottom line: CC companies NEVER lose.

They not supposed to lose, they're third parties to the transaction.

If they're that bad, why not stop accepting CC's?

BTW, want to guess how much they lose to CC fraud each year?

It never ceases to amaze me how people can rationalize _anything_.
