Regular charges began appearing over a year ago ($9.95). No idea how/why the charges started appearing.
Bad habit of not checking _every_ charge on the bill for reasonablness.
Finally caught it. Why? The charge went up to $11.95.
Called the number on the charge on the bill. No answer — machines and eternal hold.
Called AMEX. They said they would remove the current charge.
You have to wonder: If sooo many people are being ripped-off, and these rip-offs are reported, why does AMEX (and MC and Visa...) continue to allow MWI/Galleria (et al) to use their clearinghouses for payments?
MWI/Galleria (et al) are not alone in their guilt — the credit card companies are sharing in the ill-gotten profits.
