furrbearI figured out a way to route my calls to credit card companies to US call centers and avoid the *cough-cough* "Off-Shore" reps.
OK, I'll share... check the back of the card in question. It'll most likely have a number for calls wihen overseas (when '800' numbers can't be used), THAT number will usually route you into a call center on the mainland. Long-distance charges are no issue for me between cell phone and Vonage lines.
I tried it with WaMu and got the call center 3 miles from my house instead of 1/2-way around the world.
Note: '800' number is meant to denote the entire class of toll-free NPAs (read: Area Codes): 800, 866, 877, 888,...
