I’ve noticed that businesses are up charging for credit cards, incentivizing the use of cash. Especially in these mean economic times. Could this be part of the plan to ween everyone off of using credit cards? Cash puts the power back into the hands of the people. Just a thought

I had a business before I retired. I considered credit card fees to be part of the overhead costs and were figured into the cost of services provided. Also gave a discount for cash payment up front, which I suppose is the opposite of charging extra for using the card. I didn't accept American Express though as their fees were exceptionally high compared to other credit cards.
