Indeed, although giving a discount for paying with cash is often allowed. (Customers generally hate hidden fees more than they hate missing out on a discount.)


It's not a way to cheat the system though, since you still have to advertise the higher price. Even if you also say "5% discount for cash transactions".


it's fairly common around here at the 'independent' gas stations to advertise two prices; one for cash, and one slightly higher for credit cards.

It seems very fair to everyone I know who has ever had a merchant account; people who have not, on the other hand, sometimes think it's unfair.


If you know of any specifically, would you mind submitting them here? http://discountwithcash.com/app/node/add/business

Thanks!
