I agree. I wish the credit card networks didn't give into this, even if I might agree with other parts of the recent reforms. Cash discounts were always allowed

I agree. I wish the credit card networks didn't give into this, even if I might agree with other parts of the recent reforms. Cash discounts were always allowed. I think the real problem is that merchants don't want to discount cash, because it still costs money. So now they can have their cake and eat (some of) it, too.
