Visa complaint form:

Mastercard is still at 4%: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/busi...rge-rules.html

Now, for online transactions, I see most of this surcharge nonsense on small sites that essentially take a "fee". This is different than surcharge because for many sites, they charge that fee regardless of how you pay (ACH, card, etc.). If you see a lower fee rate for non-credit (debit or ACH), that lower fee is where the 3 (or 4)% count, it is NOT a card surcharge otherwise.
