I don't quite get this comment. I have a small business & I take credit cards. The percentage-fee I pay is the same, regardless of whether it's a "rewards" card or not. Amex has a % (high!), as does Visa/Mastercard, Discover... but they're not broken down further into 'rewards' or not. Am I missing something here?
