- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 3 weeks ago:
I work in fintech, serving the US market. Fees are varying but not specific to AMEX/Discover/MC/Visa. There’s card fees and then there’s gateway and payments processor fees. Often this is cumulatively just a flat fee, like $3-4, which is why some places will have signs saying “$3 extra charge for CC purchases below $20”.

I ended up getting one that could still be used when plugged in via usb (micro heh), just like wireless mice.
