This method produces Visa and Mastercard as leading picks.

We just got back from the auto repair shop, and they now add 3% on to the fee when you use a credit card. I think that used to be forbidden (the merchant ate the fee), but now that the customer pays the 3% fee for using Visa, I think it's going to cause price pressure in this fee (I'd rather pay with check than pay 3% of $1,200 for the "convenience" of a credit card).

This type of structural change doesn't appear in these metrics (which look fantastic historically), so....yeah.
