It seems like it's pretty much up to the merchants to protest, since these fees don't (directly) effect me. I would say many people don't even realize that the merchant gets charged a fee for each transaction.
As far as I'm aware, Sam's Club is the only major merchant I've run into that does not accept any Visa cards, only Mastercard and Discover.
- paulhart 17y agoIn Canada at least, CostCo only accepts AmEx credit cards.
