Strange concept that. Looks like banks subsidising airlines.
It is bundled in the price of any product you get from any company
that accepts cards and does not directly pass that cost on to the
customer. It is typically between 2 and 5%.

Does not cost me anymore than writing a check to them.

But part of the price that you pay, even with a check, is the cost of
credit.

The price is the same whether I use a CC card, Debit Card, write a check or
pay cash. So I might as well get all the benefits you pay for by carrying a
CC balance.
