Rut dog-

thanks so much for linking that info! I wil def. be looking into that. Any idea where to look on hte web for those statutes? My leasing officec is full of @sses and I would def. need some hard core proof before they even replied to my request. If this is indeed true by Ca law, I am super pissed that I missed out on 14,365 miles >:/

for anyone interested, this is the info that the link provided:

"Credit card surcharges and cash discounts
In some states the customer can be assessed a surcharge for using a credit card. However, there are laws against credit card surcharges in CA, CO, CT, FL, KS, MA, ME, NY, OK and TX. Additionally, Visa and MasterCard prohibit surcharges. American Express discourages them in general, and prohibits merchants from charging them if they also accept MasterCard or Visa. Discover allows surcharges on credit card purchases except in the above states. According to Bankcard Holders of America, there is one exception to the no surcharge law. If you pay state license fees by credit card, you may have to pay a surcharge. There are no exceptions for retail merchants. "
