In regards to the fact that stores won't except a credit card for purchases under $10, I remember my boss hitting the ceiling when I had accepted a charge amount for under $10. I believe the reason was then and still now that the store pays 3 to 4% of the total charge amount to the credit card company. Not good business on a small amount of money for a small retail store. Gloria Sinclair _________________ You are correct Gloria- Most credit card services charge a percentage of the amount plus you pay a monthly service fee - so in come cases on an $ 8 charge you could only make a $1 Since I started using visa/mc for my embroidery I try not to use my own cards for small purchases Sally www.embroiderybysally.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
