Unaccompanied Minor Fees/Charges
2008-05-24 16:46:00 Whenever Tutubi hears of kids flying solo, he remembers the romantic film Sleepless in Seattle, starring Tom Hanks (Sam) and Meg Ryan (Annie), where Sam's son Jonah flew alone to New York to meet Annie to realize his wish for his lonely daddy.That's the movies where almost every rule can be broken for "cinematic effect."In reality, you need to know the rules and the law before before your kid flies on an airline alone. Usually, you need to pay additional fees for the service as well the law of the destination country.For unaccompanied minor children below fifteen traveling to the Philippines alone or without a parent, be aware of the (stupid) Waiver of Exclusion Ground contained in an old Commonwealth Act 613 (that should be repealed, Tutubi thinks).

And The Airline Fees Continue
2008-05-22 04:53:00 American Airlines is the first of the major airlines to tack on a fee for the first checked bag, but they wont be the last. It wont be long before other airlines follow suit. No one wants to be first but following the leader is a game they are all good at for sure. Jokes have been running rampant about what will be the next thing to cost extra. Some of the funnier ones to date have been a pay toilet paper dispenser and pay to use the overhead space for carry on luggage. Even if the airlines have not been thinking about it, reading may just give them some ideas. Realistically it looks like the beverage service will no longer be complimentary in the near future. We have been paying for alcoholic drinks for a while now, but soft drinks, water, and coffee may be requiring us to have correct change soon. Will this drive people away from flying? I doubt it. Given the alternatives, people will learn to either pay for their new found luxuries or to do without in many cases. Doing...

LEGALLY BEAT THE SYSTEM BY PASSING PROCESSING FEES TO CUSTOMERS: PROCESSING
2008-05-19 14:40:00 Imposing surcharges on credit card transactions is illegal, and it will only lead to problems. The secret to beating the credit card processing system is not charging more for credit card sales, but instead is charging less for cash sales. It may sound like the same thing, but there is a big difference. The increasing costs associated with accepting credit cards are leaving many merchants searching for ways to pass along at least a portion of processing expenses to their customers. Card origina A recent study by United College Marketing Services has shown that student credit lines have increased to over $6,000. Credit card usage has tripled since 2001 amongst teenagers as well. Since eighteen year-olds in many countries and most U.S. states are eligible for a card without parental consent or employment, the likelihood of increased balances, unwise use of credit and damaged credit scores increases.

Credit Card Fees - Are They Worth It
2008-05-12 17:57:00 I have had a few people write me concerning my articles on Aeroplan and Airmiles, asking how I created my formulas for figuring out how much money you would need to put through your credit card to get back the annual fee for the credit card. This only works for cards that have a reward feature like airmiles, aeroplan points, or some other reward points. I will try and get a baseline value for each type of reward point on each card and keep it in a table on this page (see below). If you want me to look at a card, let me know the name of it and I will look up the details. This page will have 3 sections. Show how I create my formula for how much money you need to spend on a credit card to pay for the fees. List the formula for major cards. Use one of the reward items available for each card to figure out an exact value for how much money needs to go through the card to pay for itself for that reward item. I'll try to stick to gift cards since the value is fixed (i.e. $20 gift ca...

Domain Name Misappropriation Case Set for Trial in the Western District
2008-05-06 06:24:00 The case between a Seattle law firm and its Web development vendor goes to jury trial on May 21. STL readers may recall that the Seattle-based law firm The Christensen Firm sued Chameleon Data Corp. and its president, Derek Dohn, on the ground that defendants allegedly transferred ownership of plaintiff’s four domain names (thechristensenfirm.com, thechristensenfirm.net, christensenfirm.com, and cc-lawfirm.com) to themselves without plaintiff’s authorization, and shut down email service to addresses associated with plaintiff’s primary domain name, cc-lawfirm.com, in order to get leverage over plaintiff in a dispute over the defendants’ bill.This interesting dispute became less of a trademark case on Jan. 18, when Judge Zilly dismissed plaintiff’s Lanham Act and Washington State cybersquatting claims on the basis that the plaintiff’s marks were either generic (cc-lawfirm) or descriptive (The Ch...
