My experience is that's more protection than is afforded to credit cards in France. In particular, the "quality of goods" provision means that most US merchants have flexible return policies. I have tried returning stuff I bought that I was unhappy with in France (with a credit card). No luck : it's up to the merchant, there is no law that gives this right. [...]
Still "Visa Gold" and some other equivalent cards include a usually very little known and used, but still amazingly powerful insurance that enables you to get a full reimbursement if you're not satisfied with a purchase you made with the card.
Yes, but try actually using that insurance sometime. It typically has exclusions for foreign purchases. My US-issued platinum VISA credit card certainly did, so I was stuck with the item bought at retail in France, with no way to return or exchange it. I should have known not to buy retail.
Anyway, end of this off-topic story. _______________________________________________ mozilla-crypto mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-crypto
