Its interesting. Just looked up a better explanation of what the billing address implies.

"A billing address is the address where you are receiving the statements for your credit card. For your order to be approved when shopping online the billing address has to match this address since it is the registered address on the card.
In the USA, many online merchants require a US billing address. They do this to protect themselves against credit card fraud. The AVS (address verification software) credit card processors use helps them detect when credit card data is submitted incorrectly.


According to that statement I wouldn't know how this would have ever gone through anyways bc for anyone that is listing Denmark as country, that will never match the CC info. UNLESS it doesn't look at a match in country but rather in address you provide (such as matching zip code and street only).
Merchants an elect to let transactions go through even with just a partial AVS match or with no AVS match at all.
A merchant can even charge a card without CVV.

Of course that makes the merchant more liable for fraudulent transactions, but that's their own choice.

All that doesn't make it not lying when you say your billing address is in Denmark, regardless of whether UA let the charge go through.

It says to see it in your currency but I personally want to see it in a different currency doesn't even imply anything wrong with that
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Seriously?

It says "Please select your location or where you receive credit card billing statements to see pricing in your local currency."

I don't want pricing in my local currency so what do I select?

why do you insist on stressing that, it is only so that it causes what they assume most would want however i personally don't want it!!
Nowhere does it say i must, it's just an eitza tovah ka mashma lon

The same "rabbis" that are so holier than thou about gaming the system /morals etc are the same ones who have no qualms about the kashrus industry artificially inflating the price of kosher staple items such as poultry and dairy resulting in unnecessary hardship on people trying to "do the right thing."  As long as it's money in their pocket....sure it's fine.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Now that is interesting.
Those fare classes are zeroed out from US expert mode, but they're there from Vietnam expert mode.
