I see all these "transfer" fees that look very much to me like "transfer to us and while you do get a year extra on your reg for ___price"

Is this how it is or are these registrars saying thats how much it costs to transfer a domain to them period?

You need to make sure at each registrar. Most of them offer a one year extension with the transfer, but there are those that will charge a transfer fee AND a separate renewal fee. Those are the ones to avoid.

Same applies with what people refer to as "push". Some registrars will transfer a domain to another account for free and some will not. For example, 1and1 charges an "account transfer fee" to move a domain to another account. It is the same price as a domain renewal, and does NOT include any time extension.

Just read carefully before paying any "transfer fee". Registrars set their own fees.

you should always specify what kind of domains you are talking about

gTLDs always require a renewal fee (however it is called), so it is not free
but in most cases you get an extra year for it

(exception recently renewed domains, i guess it's 60 days after the renewal)

Most of the registrars will transfer these tlds and renew them for one year. They will charge you one years fees for renewal. Its basically like moving the domain to new registrar and also renewing it for one year.
