[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue with the credit card processing fees are the businesses who are cashless. There is no option but to pay the extra percent plus transaction fee.[/quote]

Use a debit card or simply find another business to frequent.

Not always an option, but you knew that when you wrote that snark. Have a nice day.[/quote]

Why not?  That is what I do.  I only have one business I use that I pay a CC fee.  It's a small plumbing business.  And I just pay it because I don't feel like writing a check, mailing it and then praying the USPS actually delivers it.  So I just pay the fee.  Otherwise all businesses I frequent don't charge a fee or they allow online bill pay with your banking info.  To make that more secure, I have an account that I only use for such transactions.  So if it's ever compromised there is only a small amount in it and I don't have to change ALL of my autoplays, etc.

Because you have a data point of one, it is not a universal experience.

FYI, many service providers and other types of companies are charging 1-2% for an electronic check (which is what you call online bill pay with your banking info). That used to be my default, but I had 3 vendors last week change their policies and start that fee. 1% for a wire. And they don't take cash, for anything.

I would start checking your autopays, because many places are changing.[/quote]

So far I"m good.  And none of my businesses charge for an electronic check
