The agreements often prohibit minimums and cash discounts/card fees. However, the Dodd-Frank act trumps the agreements as law > contract. Owen Sent from my iPad On Jun 10, 2012, at 11:16 AM, Barry Shein <bzs@world.std.com> wrote:
I was under the impression (I should dig out my contract) that merchant contracts also forbid charging more for a charge than for cash or conversely "discount for cash!" but I see so many violations of that particularly at gas stations I wonder if that's negotiable in the contract.
I remember my father buying a car and pulling out a credit card asking if they accepted them? The dealer said sure no problem so he said fine then take another 3% (whatever) off I'll pay cash/check.
