Yes, I did look it up. It’s more complex than that, though.

This site sums it up: https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/articles/surcharges-and-convenience-fees/

good for you, my practices have been well vetted, so I’m not wasting my time reading it.

That’s great. You sound really awesome.

Sorry you take offense. I just didn’t provide a fully comprehensive reply, and don’t need someone who just learned about this to educate me on the subject.

It’s more for the benefit of anyone else reading who may be interested. I’m sure you know what you’re doing. I haven’t used traditional credit card services in a while (I ran a retail store and art business 2000-2012 or so).

So then you probably should have indicated that so I was aware of your intention, and either way your last reply wasn’t needed.

My original comment said "Maybe that’s changed, idk." Clearly this entire conversation wasn't needed.
