Credit Vs Cash

Can a Merchant, like a gas station charge you more because you use a credit card instead of paying cash? Some stations have two prices posted, one for "Cash" the other for "Credit". Credit is always higher. Thanks You, Jonathan

YEP. BUT REMEMBER WHEN YOU PAY CASH AT RETAIL STORES OR FOR TIRES ETC. NEGOTIATE, A DISCOUNT AND THE MORE YOU SPEND THE MORE YOU CAN NEGOTIATE, IF THE EMPLOYEE WONT ASK FOR THE MANAGER, YOU ARE SAVING THEM THE CREDIT CARD INTEREST THEY HAVE TO PAY, AND IT CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. ASK ABOUT THE POSSIBLE DISCOUNT BEFOR YOU SHOP, IF THEY WON.T THEN USE YOUR CARD OR SHOP ELSEWHERE, THIS IS DONE ALOT.
