I will agree here if there is an extra charge for a credit card it should be posted, or stated, up front. MMany places of business will have a minimum purchase required for a credit card even if there is not an additional charge. I would have to be awfully thirsty before I would try to buy a coke & bag of peanuts on a credit card, to me that is just not what they are for. I fill my gas tank at a self serve station & like to fill up when I pull in. I use a credit card there for convenience, as I don't know exactly how much it will hold. Using the card saves two trips over to the cashier's window, I then pay off the card on a monthly basis to keep from paying interest.

Geo;
Understandable, however the reason I made my statement is most convenience marts in my area seem to have a statement posted by the register minimum C-Card purchase of $5.00 required. Anything less than that amount they expect cash. Above $5.00 they have no extra charge for the card, same price as cash. Most of them have their own company card for the brand of fuel they carry, but accept all major cards as well.

My late father-in-law worked in a small town law office with his father. He had some difficult clients making his life miserable; he asked his dad why they had to work for such folks. "Jim, if you can't do business with the sonsabitches who are you going to do business with?" Gil

"Jim, if you can't do business with the sonsabitches who are you going [to] do business with?" I knew there had to be a reason I was still reading this thread. Thanks for sharing that one, Gil, I'll have to get it printed and framed! BW
