Does anyone else get irritated when stores say you have to spend a certain amount to use your dbt/cc?

Q: Isn't it illegal to do so? If so where do you report it? I was correct - it is a violation of guidelines to impose a certain dollar amount on such transactions. If the small business owners cannot afford to pay the fee's associated with merchant servicing then they should not offer the service - debit or cash only. found this on the visa site along with phone #'s to report violators of terms and conditions. Dollar Minimums http://www.usa.visa.com/download/merchants/card_acceptance_guide.pdf?it=c|/merchants/index.html|Card%20Acceptance%20Guide and Maximums Always honor valid Visa cards in your acceptance category, regardless of the dollar amount of the purchase. Imposing minimum or maximum purchase amounts in order to accept a Visa card transaction is a violation of the Visa rules. curtisports2 I respect your answer / hadnt quite thought of it that way however if they can't afford it it should not be offered.

A: Hell yes i get irritated! whatever my payment method is is my business and using a credit cards or debit cards take no longer than exchanging cash in most cases, i want to report their @ss(s) because its flat out wrong!
