Discrimination in credit card charges
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
TIGER Airways charges $6 per sector for online bookings made with credit cards. Yet the charges are waived if the customer uses a MasterCard debit card issued in Australia.
Why this discrimination against Singapore customers? If credit card charges are the issue, why not establish Nets-type payment mechanisms so customers can avoid paying this $6 charge.
And why has Tiger Airways not adopted the now-accepted industry practice of publishing all-inclusive fares in its advertisements?
