    Stuff like this is going to make people mostly pay in cash and buy gift cards as needed. I already started buying most of my things in person anyway just to avoid paying for shipping. I’m seriously considering only buying steam games with gift cards I buy at the store and avoiding using my card as much as possible.

      Credit cards should be illegal they are tools of Molloch and everyone loses at least a little from their usage. Credit card payment charges should be itemized on the bill of any purchase and also rewards should be considered taxable income over 1000$/year

        I feel like we came to the same conclusions for very different reasons…

        You do understand that since vendors are not allowed
        on risk of credit excommunication, pass the transaction fee to the vendor
        It forces the vendor to put that fee in the base price.
        Everyone pays the transaction fee
        But what if you pay debit ?
        you don’t even get cashback rewards
        but you STILL pay that increased price,
        On everything you buy
        everyone without a credit card still pays a 3% tax

        Credit cards are profoundly immoral
