Interchange fees for CC are capped at 0.3% and 0.2% for debit in the EU. No 20 cards in every wallet, black pink yellow variations, no "yes VISA but not MasterCard" sillyness. Honestly even the cap of 0.3% is still far too high.
- djrogers 9y ago> no "yes VISA but not MasterCard" sillyness. Is there anywhere that is actually a thing? Very rarely I see a place that won’t take Amex, but no visa or mc?
- snark42 9y ago> I see a place that won’t take Amex, but no visa or mc? Lots of places won't take AmEx or Discover (some of the highest fees in the business.) CostCo currently only takes Visa (no MC.) Sam's used to only take Discover. It's rare, but it happens. In this case it's also only for "credit" purchases, "debit" is ok for any card, but the fees are way less for "debit" than "credit".
- snuxoll 9y agoI've only run into one place in 2 years of having a Discover card that wouldn't take it, seeing Amex not accepted is rather common.
