Settlement could change landscape
Thanks to the recent settlement in the government's antitrust lawsuit
against Visa and MasterCard, retailers can charge higher prices to customers
who pay with credit cards.
It's not yet clear what impact, if any, the surcharges will have on credit
card usage and rewards points.
The settlement requires credit card issuers to temporarily reduce the
interchange (aka swipe) fees they charge merchants for processing credit
card transactions. Credit card issuers also can negotiate collectively over
future interchange fees.
Weston sees two possible scenarios as a result: Credit card issuers could
make their rewards programs less generous to make up for their loss of
interchange fees. Or they could try to improve their rewards programs to
prevent people from switching to other payment methods because of the
surcharges for using them. Weston says it's too early to tell which is more
likely. | w********r

类似cc,但是是debit卡
