My son called me from somewhere in Germany on his way to Afghanistan, he is in the army. He just wanted to let me know he was ok. I looked at his credit union account and was charged twice one was for $66.25 and the other charge was $27.46. Both calls were at the same time accoring to his statement. We only talked a couple of minutes. Now he only has $58.oo dollars left in his account. I think this is disgusting and horrible how this company can rip off our young kids who are defending and risking their lives for us. I tried calling the 800-608-0575 number and I couldn't even get it to ring.
Thank you

I made a call on September 21st, 2008 from Manzanillo, Costa Rica to Chicago Illinois. I didn't even take 4 minutes or even 3 mintues and when I received my credit card bill the total was $41.91
I first called my credit card company and they told me that I had to speak directly to them. I called the 800 number and I asked the operator why it was so much money for 2 or 3 minutes and he said that is the way it works. I said that was expensive and he said that they can give me a discount for being a first time customer. Customer? I never signed up.
He put me on hold then he said that the discount they are giving me is of $16.75
I said that was good and I said thank you. But I still think $25 is too much money for the minutes I took.

Should I do more?
Please help.
