>> there are several others that offer a discount for cash This is relatively new; previously Visa/MC prevented their merchants from doing this but it changed recently. Counter example: you can penalize a company you don't like by paying with amex.

> This is relatively new; previously Visa/MC prevented their merchants from doing this but it changed recently. Not in all states (and maybe not recently in some of the states where it changed); a class action lawsuit in 2013 changed it for several states, and over time more states have allowed it by (IIRC) a mix of legislation and court cases; it is now at 48 states that allow it (plus D.C.) and two, Connecticut and Massachusetts that don’t.
