I feel that is attrocious. Imagine the amount one would have to carry for a weekend in Florida ?? ('Quote from USA Today') seems to explain it quite well. Personally, I would never patronize any business that charges extra for credit card purchases. The annual membership fees for MC, Visa and AmEx are bad enough. Indra K. Singhal IKS@PSUVM.BITNET
