Have you moved to Ireland? If so the Government charges an annual tax on credit cards at 30euros

Pandasam, how on earth did you know that I was in Ireland!! I am in Ireland. I didnt think it would be charged on my card though as its a UK one but I have recently changed the address to Ireland. Have to give them a phone later and double check!!

Lol, because it happened to a friend of mine when she moved to Ireland!

It seems to be a standard tax in Ireland for credit cards from other countries.
