Message-ID: <184@cbnap.UUCP> Date: Wed, 7-Mar-84 09:17:16 EST Article-I.D.: cbnap.184 Posted: Wed Mar 7 09:17:16 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 8-Mar-84 19:14:21 EST Lines: 7 The charge for some credit cards is around 6%, such as AmEx. Visa is around 3%, which is why many more stores prefer Visa to AmEx. In addition, even stores without their own credit card have some accounting expense, so the addition cost of having their own credit card is probably a bit less than you'd think. W. H. Pollock
