I'm sad to hear that Visa changed that, but I guess with debit cards being so prevalent, they figured consumers still had enough buying flexibility. (They still do not allow minimums on debit card purchases.)
Amex's policy was always they they could not be handled differently than other cards. I'd have figured that if Visa allowed the minimum then Amaex would, too, else the Visa card might be favored by he merchant.
OT, I know, sorry, but CC minimums were always a pet peeve of mine.
