As I recall the Federal law regulating credit cards, the provision allowing you to stop payment if the merchandise or service does not satisfy you is only applicable if the merchant is within 75 miles of the bank that issued the card. I do not know the reason for this provision. Of course, the agreement you have with your bank may allow stopping payment and, in any case, the merchant and the bank may not not know about or care to enforce the payment requirement when you are dissatisfied. I might also add that I am not a lawyer, but that I did study this with a professor of commercial law in preparation for a joint seminar we gave about 18 months ago. Charles
