Quick question : would you pay extra fees for a credit card that only allows transaction from whitelisted stores and if used online, the shipping address could be only to a whitelisted address ?

Who adds to the whitelist? Could I call them, with my Russian accent, and get them to whitelist an Apple store when I'm buying myself a new macbook?

Why should there be extra fees for that? If anything, the fees should be LESS because there's less risk on the credit card company's side of things of having to refund invalid/stolen transactions.
