jamesnord: adriennes: In response to a frustrated post from JamesNord this morning, I again looked up the rules about minimums for using credit cards. Many vendors say that they have a $5 or $10 minimum, but it is actually against their Merchant Agreements with the credit card companies to do so. This is a handy wallet sized excerpt of the agreement for Visa/MasterCard…I’ll have to see what the agreement from American Express looks like. (via consumerist) Yet another reason to hate bars.
