Have searched but can't find this answered anywhere. Was denied boarding on my CW booking to LHR in Denver last week and was very happy to receive
a seat the next day, $1200 compensation + a hotel and food. The compensation was put onto a non reloadable Mastercard that expires before I return to the US. I've since discovered that there is an ATM withdrawal fee + 6.75% currency charge for non $ ATM withdrawals, and that it is very difficult to use the card online as it is not possible to associate the card with a billing address. Someone suggested linking it PayPal but this doesn't work either. Anyone have experience or suggestions on how to avoid a $80-100 hit, which seems a bit excessive?
