.05%? That's so low, that I'm prone to believe you misplaced the decimal point.

There *are* no limits in place, other than what is specified in the merchant agreement between the dealer and the credit card company. That's like saying that what is true at one gas station, is the same at another. Most merchant agreements state that you can not have a minimum charge, and most don't limit a maximum. I'd point you to the other thread, as this is just a rehash of what has been pointed out there.
