Then you haven't read the small print nor some of the threads that have been
on here. Some of the cross-channel ferry companies have been known to charge
the difference in cost to the credit card of people who have paid by card
for a cheap day return and used it as a single. Under UK law, you are deemed
to have given your authority for them to do so when you buy the ticket with
a card and accept the terms and conditions attached to it. Apparently, in
the USA, that would require a separate authorisation.
