UK - Credit card fees to be banned
Airlines, travel companies and retailers are to be banned from charging fees when people pay by credit or debit cards...

...Customers are being charged as much as £12 to use their cards when they pay, though the transactions cost as little as 20p to process.
In some cases, the surcharges are higher than the value of the item being purchased.
Last night a Treasury minister said people were “sick” of being “ripped off” by the hidden charges. Legislation would be introduced by the end of next year.

That's going to upset Michael O'Leary
