What the Financial Reform Bill did was allow merchants to charge a surcharge for smaller transactions and this company is doing this.
The old Visa/MC rules didn't allow surcharging on debit or credit cards but congress just changed this. Merchants can also set a minimum now where before they couldn't.
Ah thanks. That makes sense. May I see your ‘financial advisor’ license please? Or perhaps I could verify how, exactly, you know this. Ah, I bet you have read that bill in full detail?
Can I get you to sign a statement verifying that?
