Page 10: "Under Amex’s NDPs, the merchant...may not impose a 'parity surcharge' on credit card transactions, meaning a surcharge in which the merchant assesses the same surcharge amount on all credit card brands and does not surcharge debit cards at all."
- lotsofpulp 1y agoThat page is getting into the weeds, but none of that says a merchant cannot state that cash and debit cards receive an x% or $x discount. The federal regulations specifically allow discounts, and presumably some lawyers will argue that a surcharge is different from a discount. Amex is trying to do all it can, but still can’t tell a merchant they cannot advertise a discount for cash/debit.
