I got the translation fees on my Amex plum statement for my most recent charges also. I called them and they said the transactions were being submitted in Canadian dollars, so I said Plentyoffish is indicating they are in USD on the billing page, and they asked me if I wanted to open up an inquiry on the extra 2.7% charges so I said yes; maybe this will help straighten it out. If I use a Visa or Mastercard do you avoid the fees? The Amex represent told me the fees would be higher than 2.7% with a Visa/Mastercard.

I use a Wells Fargo business debit card (Visa) and don't get hit with any additional fees, but I'm not sure if an actual credit card would hit you with those same fees that Amex does.
 
Any benefits to targeting via session depth?


Yea, say some one is just clicking around and they are 30 deep. They are likely just clicking looking at girls clicking looking at girls. They "could" be less likely to convert since they are hitting and moving hitting in moving... but really just test and find out.

He already fuckin wrote about this. If you use AMEX, you will get charged because AMEX only allows US based companies to charge in USD. So, use Visa or MC to avoid AMEX being greedy.

Yeah, I read his posts. The American express rep said she researched Plentyoffish and thought they should be charging in US dollars even though they were in Canada since they have plenty of US customers. Then she said if I didn't use American express I would be charged more most likely, so I'm just bringing up the conflicting info
 
Its banks new ways of scamming people out of money... Amex charges companies 2.7% additional if you aren't based in the US.

For years, banks have charged consumers a foreign transaction fee for using their credit cards abroad if the purchases were made in a [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]foreign [COLOR=blue !important]currency[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]. However, be careful: shopping online with merchants based outside the United States, or booking hotels or flights with foreign companies may be also subject to additional charges.

Some banks, including Citigroup, Simmons and Bank of America, have enlarged their definition of foreign transaction. Now they apply international conversion fees for all purchases from foreign merchants regardless of whether that purchase was made in a foreign currency or not. Even if you spend money at a foreign business online, you will see an additional fee in your credit card bill the next month.

For example, you buy an international airline ticket online in U.S. dollars using a credit card. Just because the merchant is based outside of the United States, the bank will charge you a foreign transaction fee. It doesn’t matter that you made the purchase from the comfort of your home or office.

The changes will make it more expensive for U.S. consumers to buy goods online from foreign merchants. They can also hit travelers going to a country where the purchases are often made in U.S. dollars, such as the Bahamas and some Caribbean countries.

Industry experts say that the expanded international conversion fees are the result of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009. It has no fee cups or clarification regarding the definition of a “foreign exchange fee.”
 
Still haven't heard anything about a simple day and hours targeting function. I mean isn't this the first thing most self serving advertising companies implement?
 
When you get to the list of how much you spent daily, you should make each day's cost also a link so you can quickly get a cost breakdown of each campaign from that specific day.
 
I'm targeting Australia for a certain offer and I got ZERO impressions over 12 hours.

My targeting criteria are all realistic and I don't think I have any restrictions that would cause ZERO people to see my AD.

What's going on here?
 
Raise the price of your CPM bid.. Since they threw that party at ASW, a bunch of new people came in and are now causing an inflation of the bids.


Is this directed towards me? If so, I don't think I'm bidding that low (45 cents). And even if I was bidding low, that shouldn't mean I would get ZERO impressions..

Something seems off.
