Credit card foreign transaction fee

I have a Skype subscription for outbound calling to any phone in USA/Canada. I get billed for this quarterly. Every time the charge is made, I get billed a foreign transaction fee on my credit card because Skype is running the charge from some foreign country in non-USA $$.
When I Microsoft going to bring the credit card processing (at least for USA residents) into the USA so we don't get charged silly fees like this one?

I totally agree. It is so absurd that Skype has changed their system to make it less practical for a huge client base (non-Europeans). There are easy ways to fix this, it should be done. Until it is, I've stopped using skype for my phone calls, especially given that Google talk provides the same service, but even cheaper and you don't get charged a foreign transaction fee when you pay. I'd recommend all you users in the US to use google talk until skype gets their act together, if they ever do.

  • User submitted Credit Card Historical Transactions Management Report by mis

    A user has submitted the 'Credit Card Historical Transactions Management Report' by mistake. They have noticed that as a result of this, the concurrent request appears to have deactivated all iExpense unused transactions up to and including the date that they ran the program which results in a number of cardholders affected are unable to see or acquit their Visa transactions.
    We believe this process can be reversed using the same report and choosing "activate transactions" however we just need confirmation that our
    assumption is correct and that the request can be reversed. Can anyone please confirm if this can be reversed.
    Thanks

    I created a SR with Oracle to confirm this and they said you can run this program. I just wanted to make sure program is safe to run for clearing out outstanding charges for termed employee.If Oracle support confirmed that you can run the program, then I would say go with what they said :)

  • How to post the credit card payment Transaction in incoming payment screen?

    Dear All,
    I post the incoming payment for credit card transaction.The Following errors is  occur  
    Failed to Post Incoming Payments:Credit card code does not exist  [RCT3.CreditCard]   how to  solve this error..

    Hi,
    The Payments.CreditCards object contains a CreditCard property which must be defined before adding the payment. This property should contains the code of one of the credit cards defined in the system (OCRC table).
    You can handle this table under Administration --> Setup --> Banking --> Credit Cards.

  • Model & Algorithm for fraudulent  Credit Card transaction

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to datamining. Currently I am working on an acedemic project related to credit card fraudlent transactions. My objective is to classify a new transaction as normal or fraudlent. AFAIK the classification/scoring will be different for each card right? Like if some customer's past average transaction amount is let's say $100 and if a new transaction occurs from the same card whose transaction amount is let's say $1000 so that could be suspected as fraudlent transaction. So these conditions will vary to card to card or customer to customer. Please correct me if what i think is wrong?
    Can anyone help me which model and algorithm is best for this scenerio? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your problem is defined to be an "anomaly detection" problem. With Oracle Data Mining u will be using One-Class SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm.As a starting point you will be feeding all attributes of your past data(training data) into algorithm so it will generate a model for you. Then you will be feeding a new customer data into trained model (apply process) and it will answer you either as anomaly or not. Both transaction amount and card type are your attributes. One is a continuous one, other one is a categorical (nominal) one (I think you should have many others)
    And your model requires a historical characteristics and most probable will demand for a transformation. Assume that you have the following data (I put there in monthly form but in credit card case it might required to be daily):
    Case ID Month Transaction Card_Type
    1 200901 500$ A
    2 200902 1000$ C
    3 200903 2000$ D
    4 200904 10000$ A
    1000 201001 A
    You should transform data from row-to-column format so that ODM can use it
    Card# Xision_200901 Xision_200901 Xision_200901 Xision_200901 Card_Type Top_Consume_Type_in_Last_6_Months

  • Need sugetion  for deleting credit card Transaction (i-Expense)

    Hi,
    I have few credit card transaction records in i-expense .
    these records are not required by customer and he want to delete these data.
    is there any API available for deletion of these records or any work arround.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Ajit

    Not aware of any supported methods to delete the Credit Card transactions. Instead you could run the "Credit Card Historical Transactions Management" program with a value for the parameter Process set as "Deactivate Transactions" for a range of posted dates, for a specific card number. This will remove the transactions from the available list of transactions for the user

  • Error while opening Expenses Credit Card Entry form

    Hello
    I am getting the following error when I try to open in Expenses Credit Card Entry form. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.
    "+Function not available to this responsibility. Change responbsibilities or contact your System Administrator.+"
    Form Name = ADSAPCRD
    Function Name = Credit Card Expense Transaction Entry
    Steps To Reproduce
    1. Navigation = Go to 'Payables Vision Operations (USA)' responsibility -> Credit Cards -> Expenses Credit Card Entry
    2. Double click to open it --> Error is thrown
    Investigation Done
    1. Checked if there were any excluding functions attached to the above responsibility, but there were none.
    2. Checked all the required AP / Internet Expenses Profiles but no issues there
    3. I have even recreated a new menu, assigned this function and created a new responsibility. I then retried but still the same issue.
    4. Checked all the above Form Function parameters from front-end but there are none
    5. This form function looks like a 'demo specific' function, for entering dummy Credit Card Transactions
    Environment
    EBS R 12.1.3 with Vision Demo DB
    Regards
    Kabeer

    @Pradeep, The link you have provided lists this Credit Card Transaction Entry Form, but I couldn't find the solution. Though it may not be used post-implementation, but its required to test the Credit Card Expense Reimbursement Process Flow. Without this form, the only alternative is to use the Credit Card API for entering data, which I want to use as the last alternative.
    What wonders me is that its a simple form, which should be working just like any other forms.
    Appreciate if you can provide any further pointers or workarounds. Thanks.
    @Hussain, The solution in note 1329828.1 is not applicable to this issue. But thanks v much for pointing out that.

  • Configuration to handle reversal of charges in credit card clearing in SAP T&E

    Hi T&E gurus,
    We are facing an issues related to credit card import transactions in SAP. Currently we are able to import all the expenses charged through the credit card, but for transactions which are reversal transactions are also pulled in as expenses (For. Ex. refund for an overcharge, cancelation of a airline ticket transaction). Those transactions should come in as negative amounts but they still come in as positive and add up to the total number. Is there a way through configuration to define the credits so they come as negative into the system?
    Thanks,
    Amit

    Hi Kim,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. Our credit card provider is Amex and in the file layout we have "+" and "-" indicator, but when the file is uploaded everything is read as "+" and uploads the reversal amount as expense.
    Thanks,
    Amit

  • Credit Card and Paypal Payment Online?

    Hi All,
    As I understand it, you can use multiple payment types on a purchase at BestBuy.com, but you are limited to only one credit card per transaction.
    I have an Amex gift card, that I believe Best Buy would consider as a credit card, that I would like to use on a purchase, but it is not enough to cover the whole cost. Can you make a payment online using a credit card and Paypal (that way the purchase is using only 1 credit card), or are you limited to just one or the other?
    Thanks.
    Adam

    Hi there Adam, 
    This is a fantastic question! You are correct that a gift card branded with a major credit card logo, such as American Express, would be considered a credit card by our system. Sadly, you wouldn't be able to combine a credit card payment with a payment from PayPal as well. I apologize for any disappointment that this news may bring you. With that said, you may combine PayPal or a credit card payment method with Best Buy gift cards or My Best Buy rewards certificates. For more information, check out our Payment Methods page on BestBuy.com.

  • Defaulting the Service Provider for the receipts pulled from credit card

    Hi,
    When the Associate goes on a business trip , some of the expenses are processed through the AMEX corporate credit card. Using a custom PRCC , these credit card transactions are uploaded into the system and are available as buffer during the trip creation. Associates creates the trip using ESS Portal. When the Associate selects the expense from the credit card buffer , we want the Service Provider to be defaulted to AX (AMEX). The service provider code for AMEX is configured as AX.
    In the following configuration (Travel Expenses->Master Data->Credit Card Clearing->Define Assignment Table for Credit Card Clearing , we updated the Service Provider as AX for all the expense types related to AMEX.
    Now we notice that AX is not defaulted in the Service Provider when the Associates pulls the expense from the AMEX credit card buffer.
    Is there a way to default the service provider for all the expenses pulled from the credit card buffer?
    Thanks
    Sukumar

    Hi Nandagopal,
    You are right that the origin column has Amex logo when selected from the Buffer. We are using Service provider in determining who the payment should go to. If the expense is from the credit card buffer , the payment should go to AMEX directly. If the expense is non-AMEX (i.e manual entry and not from buffer) , then the payment will go to the employee themselves. Different wage types are determined based on the Service Provider for the same expense type. For example for expense type ACAR (Rental) , if the Service Provider is AX , then wage type say WJ67 is selected by the system . For expense type ACAR and no Service provider , then wage type WJ17 is derived. The accounting is determined based on the wage type.
    So Service Provider is one of the key field that determines the accounting. When the associate selects from credit card buffer , the associate should also select the service provider as AX so that payment goes to AMEX. If the Associate forgets to select the service provider , then the payment goes to the Employee. Then the employee has to pay AMEX separately. In order to avoid this, we want to default the service provider as AX when the associate pulls from the credit card buffer.
    We maintained the default service provider as AX for AMEX credit card clearing in img node Travel Expenses->Master Data->Credit Card Clearing->Define Assignment Table for Credit Card clearing. In this node we link the credit card company transaction keys to SAP expense type and you have the option to select the Service Provider. But his default is not working in Portal.
    Please let me know if this default setting should work.
    Thanks
    Sukumar

  • HT204266 How do I purchase a number of apps at one time with just one credit card transaction?  I am traveling and I pay an overseas conversion fee each time I use my credit card.

    How do I purchase a number of apps at one time through iTunes using just one credit card transaction.  So far it seems that each app purchase is a separate transaction.  Is there a shopping cart facility?  I can't find one if there is. I'm traveling so each credit card transaction is quite costly.
    Thanks!
    Ruth

    I wish this were true.
    It is true.
    You will be billed for iTunes purchase exactly the same as if you are at home. The CC company will not add any fees.
    When purchasing through iTunes, it is NOT an overseas transaction. The transaction will simply show up as a regular transaction in your iTunes store. You will be charged/billed according to your address in iTunes, not where you physically are located.
    When you make a purchase in a shop, the retailer ID/location is sent with the transaction allowing the CC company to figure the exchange rates and bill the correct amount.
