Paying for gas with your credit card may cost you extra
By BIANNA GOLODRYGA and LEE FERRAN
July 9, 2008 Many Americans have taken up a new hobby -- hunting for the gas station with the lowest prices. But the hunt has gotten exponentially harder as the price of oil has skyrocketed and the posted price may not even be advertised, especially if the consumer wants to pay with a credit card. Paying for gas with your credit card may cost you extra. To combat the hefty fees that card companies are charging gas stations, many owners have passed the costs on to the consumer by charging more per gallon if the payment is made with plastic instead of cash. The card giant Visa, for instance, typically charges a 2 percent fee for each credit card transaction to the station owner. If the price of a gallon of gas is $4.11, that translates to about 8 cents a gallon, which is then passed on to the consumer who pays with a credit card. But sometimes, as ABC's New York affiliate found, some gas stations take the opportunity to charge even more exorbitant increases -- as much as 50 cents per gallon. |
