Interesting article in BBC on-line world news 23Dec 2011.
Quote: "Excessive fees for using a debit or credit card to buy items such as travel or cinema tickets will be banned by the end of 2012, under government plans...The move comes amid complaints that airlines, booking agencies and even councils were imposing excessive charges for using a card."
According to the article, surcharges will be limited to the cost of doing business. These new rules, originally to commence in 2014, have been brought forward to June 2012.
BBC News - Excessive card surcharges will be banned, says Treasury
There is always considerable discussion about the imposition and level of credit card surcharges in Australia.
Cheers
