It's illegal to charge for credit (and I think it's against Visa and MC TOS to require minimum purchase) but they can charge for debit?

I found out a couple of years back that my ATM card had a per day spending limit that I was unaware of. It was $1,000 a day. I never had the chance to spend that much in one day, until I tried to buy some furniture with the card. I called the bank (a credit union) and they raised it to $5,000. Now, if they contact me that they have dropped it from $5,000 to $50, I'm going through the roof! I can't go to the grocery store for under $100 most of the time! I get the feeling this is one of those non-issues that some one brings up that will never come to fruition anyway....

Minimum purchase requirements for using a card are technically violations of the merchants service agreement with Visa/Mastercard but I understand why they do it so am not one of those people who complains about it. |

Yes. The state legislature passed a bill a couple years ago that would have barred it for credit cards as well but Schwarzenegger vetoed it. So far as know it did not come up again because the federal cap will most likely avoid the issue.
Schwarzenegger's stated logic was the eliminating the fee would simply transfer payment of the interchange fee from consumers who used a card thus causing the fee to spreading it among all consumers so those who used cash would be subsidizing those who don't. |
