There is debit, prepaid, prepaid non-reloadable, business credit, business debit, government/purchasing, payroll, credit cards(gold, signature,infinite) in the US. Add international and there's a lot more like Electron(travel debit). It even gets more complicated because debit can be broken down to durbin and non durbin. You can actually get debit cards that give you rewards that charge at credit card level interchange rates. If you're talking credit cards, I don't know anyone that discriminates against the different types but it is very possible because you can get that info from the PAN.

Yes, this was my question, i.e. I'm wondering if merchants can be charged different rates for the same kind of card (e.g. for Visa signature credit cards coming from different issuers or having different perks) consistent with contracts/laws/other practicalities, not just from a strictly technical standpoint. (Any what the relevant reasons might be.)
