I dunno, I've never used it. Nor do I know anything about their past actions and policies.

It's unfortunately not a field that is going to attract a lot of good-actors, the margins are tight (as far as banking goes.) and the CC-processors they have to deal with like FirstData are themselves first-rate assholes and the credit-card companies are more of the same. That's to say nothing of the major card-issuing banks like Citi and Chase that employ entire legal departments dedicated to figuring out how to screw everybody else in the process, deny charges, pass on the cost to the consumer of their malfeasance and keep as much of the revenues as possible.
