Credit card surchage on Bpay payments?

[kkl]

*RANT*

Suppliers accounting department screws up on manual credit card payment and no longer allows manual payment.

Wants CC payments thru BPAY. - problem, WBC doesnt give points for BPAY

Now need to open a new credit card with a high enough limit to do BPAY and earn points (max cap of 10k above credit limit for points).

Always thought BPAY does not incur a credit card surchage? :evil:

Bah, I don't find bpay very compelling as a customer. This supplier of yours will _only_ accept CC via bpay now? So if you were to front up to their warehouse with platinum in hand they won't take your money? Really?

As for surcharge ... I'm not sure - I was of the opinion that most bpay transactions were not surcharged, but perhaps this is a merchant selectable thing?
