You guys are all wet about the burden of merchant credit card fees. Many online sellers and gunshow dealers now are adding 3% to the price for credit card purchases. One, I know that's too high, and two, I'll walk away from the purchase on account of it.
The whole point of credit cards is to make purchasing your wares more convenient. I won't pay you for the convenience because it is what enables you to make the sale.
I even stopped at a rip-mart convenience store/gas station the other day picked up a coke and a package of peanuts. I handed the clerk a visa card and he told me there was a dollar upcharge for the credit card. I walked back to the rack and put up the peanuts and on to the cooler and put up the coke...Geo
I guess this is as close as I get to a rant.
Two weeks ago I put a cadillac on my american express because I wanted the frequent flyer miles.
