He bought a pair of Nike shoes once which caused blisters and sores on his feet when running, so he wrote to Nike telling them (in short terms) that the shoes were crap. So they sent him a brouchure and told him he could choose any pair of running shoes he wanted, free of charge. Same thing happened with a sony MP3 player he had...

The letter writing is the best. And now that email is so common, I usually just email in my compliments or complaints and get a response that way. (I include my address in case they want to respond by mail.) Preach it, Brother Stephen! The letter writing is the best.

As with complaining when you get dodgy products from the supermarket - by all means! It helps out the company with their Q&A and in the end everybody wins!

Always call in if you get one of those fees. Also if you are in a finacial bind and late on your card payments (60 or more days) you can usually get them to waive the fees (even some interest) if you promise to make a payment. But since you all are reading this blog you wont get yourself in that situation :) I used to work for a bank doing credit card collections (worst job ever) and I can confirm that credit card compaines will waive late and over the credit limit fees as a one time courtesy.
