I am a sales manager for a high end exotic car dealership.

In the past I have, and will continue, to refuse a credit card for "full" payment if it has not been formally discussed in advance of the transaction.

2.75 to Amex is a lot of money on a $150,000 vehicle....and they also take 90 days to pay. The cardholder can also refuse the charge should a dispute arise after delivery. The same applies to Visa and MC.

The company where I work pays out approximately $18-20,000 per month in C/C discount fees to Amex and Visa.........they are not about to cancel our merchant agreement because someone is upset that I won't accept their card for a large amount.
