Yet another nail in the coffins of AX and DC as the world's most unaccepted cards (Thanks Mr Candy Thief for that reference
).
Just the 'ambush' one? I used AX on 31DEC in MEL and had no problems (that was pre-customs though and p/up after immigration).
Was planning on using my AX again this week in MEL Downtown. Anyone confirm if they are/are not charging for it here? If so, Mr Visa will have to get a workout
