I care more about transparency/disclosure than anything else.
If a merchant tells me upfront that I'm going to pay x% more than the cash rate in order to use my credit card, all is fair.
If I were a ctrip shareholder (not the case at present), I'd be miffed I knew they were actively losing money by selling plane tickets to foreign CC holders.
FTF is similar (wrt disclosure). It is no longer possible to apply for a cc in the US and not see the FTF policy in print that doesn't require you to squint in order to decipher.
