Smile lose lots of points for having a T&C's PDF my computer can't read(!!) Also, they charge you to use your card overseas, which is EBW.

I'm slightly confused, however, as The EU seems to think this should be illegal within the EU.

Evil, Bad, and Wrong.

I'm not sure. Preview.app just says "I can't open this", xpdf says "this is a v1.6 PDF, I only know 1.5, lets try anyway", and then "argh, it's horribly corrupted".

I'm generally satisfied with them. I've only had one bad fight with them and that was because they didn't get PhD students, but as they've failed to notice that that was 18 months ago and was supposed to give me another year of the student account and I still have it, I'm not complaining!

They're ethical and the do instant transfers within smile/the co-op which is shiny!

Everyone charges you for using your card overseas. Except Nationwide. We paid for everything in Iceland by dumping our funds into [livejournal.com profile] 1ngi's Nationwide account before going and using her card exclusively.

How often do you go abroad? Does paying for using cards when abroad beat having an incompetent bank?
