Professional practices, was "pay you later"

[Scott Jackson]

Re: Professional practices, was "pay you later"In Australia, legislation was
passed a couple of years ago so that you CAN add on the credit card merchant
fees. You don't see it a lot, but petrol stations now have stickers on the
pumps warning of a 3% or whatever premium for using Diners/AMEX etc.

I assume that it is not illegal to offer a cash discount; same thing in the
end.

If Mastercard/Visa/Discovery/Amex catch you passing on your credit service
costs you would be in a world of hurt. It is absolutely, strictly, strictly
verbotten! It's just another of their high-handed practices.
