I can't imagine it is a law.

For those who missed the first time I posted it:


--- Quote ---Since 1984, when a Truth in Lending law ban on surcharges expired, some states have enacted laws prohibiting surcharges; see States That Prohibit Credit Card Surcharges.

Visa and MasterCard prohibit surcharges, and American Express discourages them. Amex does prohibit "discrimination" against the Amex card, however, so if a merchant accepts Visa and MasterCard (and cannot impose a surcharge under those companies' rules), the merchant may not discriminate against Amex by imposing a surcharge.

And for those who aren't sure how to use Google, a couple links:

--- Quote ---Florida Statute 501.0117 states a seller "may not impose a surcharge on the buyer or lessee for electing to use a credit card in lieu of payment by cash, check or similar means, if the seller or lessor accepts payment by credit card."

--- Quote ---Q: A store charged me a $1.50 surcharge for paying with a credit card. They said it was their policy. Can they do that?

A: The law is a little confusing in this area. Massachusetts law prohibits sellers from adding a surcharge for using a credit card.

iwillfearnoevil:
and just to give peale a bump and add something. it's also illegal for stores to ask for a minimum purchase amount (say $10) on credit card sales. that is mastercard/visa/amex's doing and you can call your credit card company (if mastercard) or visa/amex directly if visa/amex and report them.
