I was charged a Foreign Transaction Fee by my credit card when I had no idea that I was making a purchase from a foreign firm. 
Details : I purchased a music app subscription from a website called XXXX from my computer in the US and was charged in US Dollars. My card agreement does allow for a 0.8 % transaction fee to be charged for foreign transactions made in USD. My issue with this practice is that I had no idea that I was making a foreign purchase and I do n't believe the " reasonable person '' test applies either. I bought from a .com domain from a US computer and paid in USD. My receipt has a XXXX XXXX address at the bottom. Nowhere on the website does it mention that the firm is based in XXXX. 
My bank did agree to refund the fee one time as a courtesy, but I have an issue with the practice of charging a fee when a reasonable person has no reason to know that he/she is going to be charged.
