Yes, it DOES add cost! That is the point you fail to get! The fee that
is charged the merchant is directly added to the consumer's price paid

goods purchased from said merchant would be that amount cheaper.

We get your point. Merchant wins. Credit card banks win. Consumer loses.

Most of us don't pay the vig, however. That would add insult to injury.

Why pay cash when you are already being charged to use a CC?

Why not pay cash?

What a stupid question! No one gives a rebate for paying cash, and the interest on the money is
lost.

Pay with a CC. Earn the 5%, 3%. or 1% (depending on the purchase) rebate, and collect the interest
on the money for almost two months before the CC payment is due.

Damn, where've you been, Kevin??

Really? I just went to Best Buy and bought a new tablet for my niece. I
paid cash and got a rebate. I'm not Kevin but I've been in reality. It's
stupid to think that you're not paying for using a credit card. As I've
said, my neighbor sold and serviced point of sale credit card accounts
to merchants. He actually laughed when I told him that you and a few
here think that credit cards are free!
