    Stackers,

    Does anyone know of a dealer that accepts CC, with out adding a surcharge? Prefer one in BNE.

    Thanks

    I think you'll find most dealers are scared witless of chargebacks and won't offer credit cards as a payment option.

    The fact that you get reward points doesn't benefit the dealer in any way when they have funds yanked from their account a few months after they make an (allegedly) fraudulent sale.

    Considering a dealers margin in the metal is a few percent... I think it would be a big ask to get them to fit the merchant fees on the credit card.

    Where the CC fees are well and truly factored into the costs :)
