Yeah I'd be interested to know. The surcharge to the vendors in Oz vary according to the card type - I think it's somewhere around 5-7% for Mastercard and Visa (don't quote me) but higher for Diners and AmEx, like over 10%.

I know when you buy air tickets from some travel agents it costs more with a credit card, but I don't know of anyone else that charges differently for credit.

Last time I bought a car (the TX5 Trung .) I just assumed dealers wouldn't accept it because of this. If they did let you, I would think you could get your loan/finance paid into your credit card account and give them the proof, so that your credit limit wouldn't come into it.

Matt,
Mastercard & Visa : 1.5%-4% depending on how big of a store / retailer you are.
Amex & Diners: I'm not sure, should be more.

The TX5 is still outside my house, my dad is using it for work.

the normal commission rate for my store is 1.1% but that's a mix between debit & credit cards. turnover is Â£3m p.a. but part of a company with a turnover of Â£220m

Trung, did you ask your dealer about credit cards?
