I suspect that's more or a contractual thing than a legal thing. I know gas stations around South Florida are now advertising cash and credit prices (so my thought is---the gas companies have enough pull to get favorable terms from the credit card companies).
- epoxyhockey 13y agoI know gas stations around South Florida are now advertising cash and credit prices It's not just Florida. Every state I've traveled to recently now proudly advertises separate cash and credit pricing.
- protomyth 13y agoThat's happening a lot in the northern plain states. Also, I am seeing a lot more "must buy $10 or more to use credit card" signs.

- rayiner 13y agoTo date it has been contractual. However, as a result of an antitrust lawsuit, Visa and Mastercard changed the provisions that ban merchants from charging a credit card surcharge. But states are now trying to bad adding those surcharges: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100485094 http://www.cnbc.com/id/100485094.
- ams6110 13y agoFunny though, if you pay your taxes with a credit card there is ALWAYS a fee for that.
- jjoonathan 13y agoOf course. I'm implicitly claiming that this kind of contractual requirement should be illegal since it's blatantly anticompetitive (my opinion, not the court's, naturally).
