It's the same way gas stations get away with "charging extra" for credit. Most credit card vendor agreements do not allow the merchant to pass along the 3% or whatever fee to the customer. So what the gas stations do instead is give you a "cash discount".

- yoloswaggins 13y agoIt's not spying if the customer agreed to hand over the information. That's why you have to read contracts very carefully.
