Going over my credit card statement I found that I've been charged by AP9*PASSPORTTOFUN and AP9*TODAYSESCAPES. The first time I didn't think much of it because I thought that it my have been for a book or something I bought at amazon.com and that was just the name of the seller and I didn't look into it in more detail.
Around the same time I was hardly using that credit card anymore and had all my bills directed to another card. I should have paid more attention and checked my balance more often!
Not only was I charged $12.95 for each of these services for about 4 months but because of my balance being so close to my credit limit, I was also charged overdraft and late payment fees when the balance finally did go over the limit because of those charges!
After spending some time on this website today I've learned a great deal about how stupid I acted with my credit card. And after seeing some of the reports about BankOne (which is the bank issuing my credit card) I see a pattern with this same kind of problem. So my next step will be to talk to my bank lady at BankOne to get my money back.
I have placed several orders with VistaPrint in the past and was very happy with their service, until now. Finally I know who caused a big part of the problem!
I guess it would be altogether smarter just to get business cards and return address labels from somebody else who doesn't send you through lots of different offer-pages before you can finally check out completely after you've placed an order. Then there's not the possibility of being tricked into getting something you didn't want.
Since I'm planning to close my account with BankOne anyway I guess I'll be well off to just block that credit card altogether and pay off the remaining balance.
