Regarding the apparent credit card surcharge: The Fair Credit Reporting Act, which governs various aspects of credit card activities by the card companies, banks, and merchants, as well as a bunch of other stuff, specifically prohibits credit card surcharges. As a way around the additional fee merchants have to pay to credit card companies, merchants started to quote a higher price as the normal, then offered a cash discount. This is, of course, not prohibited. No, I'm not an attorney, but I've paid enough money to a sufficient number of them to have learned quite a bit. A fate I wish on no one! Cheers, RLD
