hey THANKS...wonder why they never notified me on my accounts...sigh, not sure I'll ever use it though because few consumers will be aware of it. I feel better for retailers who work on thin margins.
Funny that Mastercard is still following the old rules but VISA is on a new track. I wonder if less people use VISA these days?
Also the wording for the "fee to use a card" thing is pure semantics because you can give a discount for cash but can't post a cash price then say the credit card price is xx% or $ more per transaction. Plus all merchants factor in CC fees into each item they sell anyway. Just word games companies play but I bet if I reported a merchant with such a sign to Mastercard then they would get in trouble with Mastercard even if VISA no longer has the same rule.
And the reason they exclude using the card as a debit card is the fee is next to nothing for that option which is why merchants always prefer we use them as a DC rather than a CC.
