Per the link below the Merchant may now be able to steer you to a card that has a lower swipe fee. My ineterpretation (from this and other articles) is that they maybe be able to choose which card in the Visa/MC family they will accept.

Apparently there is a 2 pm press conference to outline the details of the agreement.
