The Asiana office in Los Angeles will be more than happy to accept an American credit card for a reservation. They will not, however, accept a Korean (or other foreign) card.

It is totally possible that I am way off here but ...
isn't there a law in some countries (or, possibly just certain "industries" like e-sales that prevent foreign cards from being used?
A couple of years ago, I tried to purchase some books online from the UK and was rejected because I had a Cdn Mastercard. When I telephoned them to ask why, they told me it wasn't a company policy, but a UK law that international credit cards could not be used over the telephone or via the internet - within the UK, any foreign card transactions need to be done in person, with a signature verified by another piece of government issued identification.
So, I just figured that if that was the law in the UK, they can't be the ONLY country in the world to operate that way.... |

Nope: I have accounts with www.amazon.com, www.amazon.co.uk and www.amazon.co.fr and have bought books from all three with delivery addresses in UK and here using cards from UK and here. Never any problem.
The problem is using a foreign card in US for on-line air ticket purchase.
So, please, stop moaning that you canot buy a ticket on-line in Korea with a foreign card. It is the same in US. |

Excuse me, I wasn't moaning in any way, shape or form.
In fact, I was siding with you. |

Yes, plattwaz, I do apologise. My sharp comment was not intended for you at all and I regret that it seemed that way.
I meant the OP and one or two others earlier in the therad who just did not pick the points made 4 times at least by myself, you and Homer.
Again, my sincere apologies for the misunderstanding.
