| It's a cross to bear, paying a charge when using a credit card but the blame lies solely with the banks. They not only charge you interest but they also deduct a fee from every single transaction made by card. This is taken directly from the clubs and it varies from a fixed charge for debit cards, to a percentage for credit cards.
The clubs really have no choice but to levy a fee. Most holiday companies do the same and in these troubled times, if retailers get across board agreement, then they could start to bring it in also.
So just remember, every time you buy a ticket by card, you are helping to pay the bankers their bonuses, whilst Cameron and co preach their all in together message.  |

The cash point outside Headingley charges you what £1.50 or £1.85 or something like that, thats a pain when you are a few quid short for a ticket and have to go outside and pay to use a convenience.

Surely not £5?
That truly is disgraceful. |

I know the Galpharm don't charge for Debit card payments but do charge 2.3% if you use a credit card!

I assumed it was the likes of Visa, Mastercard etc who charged the fee per transaction rather than the banks themselves? Isn't that why shops didnt used to accept (and some still don't) American Express cards even when with a British bank.

It is Visa, Mastercard etc that charge the seller the transaction fee. A few credit card providers take a part of that back (Barclaycard for one) and yes, Amex and Diners charge higher cuts, hence are accepted in less places.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

Hopefully the retailers won't get an agreement, things are expensive enough already and cards are a convenient way to pay. It shouldn't be forgotten that items paid for by card require almost no other involvement from the retailer, it doesn't need carrying to the bank and can't be pilfered or snatched from the till afterwards, so it's not as though there are no advantages accruing. The customer pays anyway, either directly as a surcharge or as part of general 'overheads', at the end of the day if the retailer causes sufficient card payers to go elsewhere he loses out anyway. Not that there are many (if any) other choices about where you buy your season ticket!

"The banks" ? All of them? In equal share?
Both are publicly listed on the NYSE, so available for you personally to buy shares in. |
