    No, we had a flat annual fee for usage. There was a fee for withdrawing cash but no making purchases.

      The merchant is charged the fee, not you directly as the cardholder. It’s already figured into the price if they accept cards.

        It was illegal for vendors to charge a fee for card purchases, so if that was the case then they maybe just raised their prices.

          Iirc, surcharging is only illegal in 4 states. However, theres a loop hole in thise states, giving a discount on cash purchases arent considered a surcharge…
