Cardholding Travelers Eligible For Fee Refund

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS) ― During the past few days, millions of Americans have received a letter telling them they may be eligible for a refund of at least $25 from their credit card companies.

As many as 30 million people nationwide are receiving notices from the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, informing them they may be entitled to at least $25 from a settlement in a class-action lawsuit, reports CBS station KPIX-TV in San Francisco.

The lawsuit claims Visa, Mastercard and Diner's Club overcharged customers for foreign currency conversions when they traveled overseas.

The $336 million settlement covers fees that were paid over a 10-year period, from February 1996 to November 2006. Those who have all their receipts can itemize their claim to receive a larger refund.
