Merchant Surcharge Fee - Can You Charge A Convenience Fee on Credit Card Purchases

today we're talking about surcharging as,in is it allowed is it legal and can you,do it at your business I'm going to,answer this question and then we're also,going to hear some real-world feedback,from customers as to whether it's a good,idea to surcharge in your business,coming up so sir charging is the process,of adding an additional fee on top of,the final bill for your product or your,service and passing that fee along to,the customer this is also known as a,convenience fee which I'm sure you've,heard of or at least come across before,so let's go ahead and answer the,question can you surcharge and are you,allowed to surcharge at your business,the short answer is yes yes you can,actually since 2013 Visa and MasterCard,have allowed you to surcharge and pass,the fee along to your customers but you,have to do it in the right way so you,won't get your merchant account,suspended or banned or shut down or,anything like that that may have been a,reality in the past but it's not true,anymore as long as you follow these,guidelines you have to notify your,customers with signage and notifications,at your business or on your website or,in your invoices and documentation that,you are going to be surcharging either a,dollar amount or a percentage rate and,that's going to be added on to the total,bill additionally if you are going to,surcharge you can't charge more than the,processing fee that you're going to be,charged so in other words if the bill is,$100 you can't impose a four or five,percent surcharge fee if you're only,being charged two and a half percent you,can't make money or you cannot up charge,to make money off of the surcharge that,you're going to impose to your customers,so if you're undecided right now or,you've heard about surcharging and maybe,you're considering it but you're still,on the fence as to whether it's a good,idea or whether you're going to do it at,your business I'm going to give you some,questions to ask yourself that'll help,you decide whether it's a good fit for,you if you've already decided that you,are definitely going to be surcharging I,put some links in the description that,will give you access to reports and,resources that Visa and MasterCard,have published openly on their website,there's a frequently asked questions,guide and there's various documentation,that tells you how you need to go about,doing it how you need to set it up how,you need to advise your customers and,your clients that you're going to be,surcharging and it's all listed right,there again the links are in the,description these links are going to be,things like frequently asked questions,resource guides signage documents that,you can take and print out and put up in,your on your website or at your,storefront and there's also going to be,surcharging considerations on visas,frequently asked questions guide which i,think is one of the most important,questions that you can ask yourself in,this entire conversation as in what are,my customers going to think i

WHY PSA UPCHARGES AND HOW ITS DESIGNED TO BENIFIT THEM ONLY

foreign,pretty good stuff man please explain to,me how Grading Company can justify and,up charge they haven't done anything,more to the card in absolute Ripple I,don't like up charges either,Temple bird but here's what I will say,in that same,uh conversation right if we're looking,at,what PSA is doing in terms of their,guarantee,if the card ends up being worth more,because the card graded at a PSA 10.,uh and you submitted it under the idea,that the card is only worth a hundred,dollars,well a hundred dollar guarantee at a PSA,nine is different than a,two thousand dollar,value at a PSA 10. and so because of,that their justification is is well,we're gonna need more money for that,because,you told us that the card would be worth,that you thought the card was a nine so,you thought the card at a nine would,only be worth a hundred dollars but the,card is actually because you're not a,grader I'm a grader we are graders the,card is actually a PSA 10 and it's in,pristine condition,and because of that the card is not,worth a hundred dollars the card is,worth two thousand dollars sometimes the,disparities are even bigger but let's,just say for the sake of math it's a two,thousand dollar card now and because of,that as PSA we are guaranteeing this,card to be what it is that makes it the,value of two thousand dollars and we're,gonna need you to pay,that,you know that that that level of cost,because what you're paying for is that,you are paying for the guarantee,is essentially what PSA is saying they,want you to pay for the guarantee,or the portion of the guarantee so it,ends up being okay you're not going to,pay 22 dollars because you submitted it,in a bulk submission you're going to end,up paying the 30 or 40 or 50 for,whatever,so that's how they justify it I'm not,saying it's right I don't necessarily,agree with it but,I kind of see why they do it,because if something goes wrong with,that card they're on the hook for the,two grand,and you told them that it was only worth,a hundred dollars,but,they can decide what the grade is,they'll give it the grade that they,think it it deserves,rightfully so because that's what you're,paying them for I guess,hey that's the rub birdie that's the rub,right if the card goes down in value do,I pay less no you don't no,now I'm with you brother I'm with you,100 I I completely understand what,you're saying I hear what you're saying,I I'm with you,but,that's how PSA is getting over on people,100.,yeah yeah,that's right everybody's saying the same,thing right they'll that's how they,that's how they justify it right up,charging you but come on,capitalism at its finest baby right I'm,a capitalist at heart but you know,there's there's levels to it you know,there's no justification it shouldn't,matter how much your card is worth,they just want to be in everyone's,pockets,see I don't I don't think that's the,case big dog,I understand their justification,but it has to be across the board,because if you're gonna do that right,and you're

Outrage Grows Over Some Coffee Shops' Non-Dairy Milk Surcharges

a growing number of americans are,outraged at the big coffee industry,whether they're vegan lactose intolerant,or just a fan of the taste a lot more,people are now opting for non-dairy milk,like almond or oat milk it does cost,more but folks think it's an unfair,overcharge,you can't tell by just looking at them,but this latte costs more than this one,because it's made with soy milk at,several major coffee chains you'll pay,up to a dollar extra for non-dairy milk,like oat almond soy and coconut animal,rights group peta and some celebrities,call it a fee that punishes people who,avoid animal products and those who are,lactose intolerant non-dairy milks are,growing in popularity in 2019 one in 10,pete's coffee drinks had non-dairy milk,in it this year it's one in five and the,dairy alternatives market is projected,to hit 66 billion dollars by 2030. do,you think it's fair to charge extra for,plant-based milk i think in today's,world and with pricing the way it is,with shortages,i understand it some people are just,grateful they offer plant-based milk and,they're willing to pay the surcharge,what do you think were you grateful that,they at least offer the plant-based milk,i think it's really inclusive to have,plant-based smoke offered i feel like,charging extra for it kind of takes,advantage of the people who actually,need it i know there's a lot of people,who are lactose intolerant like myself,peta is roasting coffee giant starbucks,over its surcharge with protests like,this,the campaign backed by more than a,hundred thousand people and some star,power including paul mccartney and,succession actor james cromwell who in,may super glued himself to a starbucks,counter in protest when will you stop,charging us more for vegan milk when i,was making babe i said i can't do this,anymore because every animal that i,worked with on the set their relative,was on a table for lunch cromwell says,starbucks is milking cows and customers,for profit it just shows their,greed and their insensitivity,both to people who are lactose,intolerant but also to an environment,that they claim to care about starbucks,eliminated the surcharge in its uk,stores earlier this year but continues,to charge extra in the u.s the company,said in a statement in part it sees,non-dairy milk like customization such,as an additional espresso shot or syrup,it would not say how much it spends on,non-dairy milk peet's coffee said in a,statement in part it charges extra,because alternative milk products,continue to cost more than dairy milk,right now many non-dairy milks do cost,more in part because the u.s government,subsidizes the dairy industry dunkin,donuts did not respond to multiple,requests for comment,london-based coffee chain freda monge,made a bold move ditching its 60-cent,non-dairy milk surcharge back in 2020.,one of our core values is around doing,the right thing we thought you know what,really it's not the right thing to do to,keep have this vegan tax if you will or,an extra charge so

Dealer Or Stealer? Here's How To AVOID Getting Screwed By "Market Adjustments"!

hey andre have you noticed that uh we've,got a very strange thing happening,recently and that is dealers are marking,up vehicles above the msrp,yeah well it's those times where the,vehicles are scarce right and some,dealers are highlighting the price in a,different way yeah you know we've got,this confluence of really,interesting things happening today where,there's a lot of demand not a lot of,supply and of course dealers who are,taking advantage of that now of course,msrp stands for manufacturer suggested,retail price so it's not a fixed price,it is a suggested retail price and in,good times uh in a free market you can,wheel and deal and get a lower than msrp,yeah price for a new car but those days,are over unfortunately yeah and,especially with trucks right four wheel,drive vehicles brand new suvs vehicles,that are um in high demand um,well right now some prices are going,above msrp yep in this video we're going,to try to help out the tfl community by,enlisting your help to actually,highlight those dealers and spotlight,those dealers that are asking msrp,and those dealers that aren't so before,we get to that let's talk about msrp and,let's talk about like the different ways,that people are buying cars now it used,to be once upon a time that,people if they wanted a brand new car,they would walk into a dealership and,then you'd have to go arm wrestle the,dealer into giving you the best deal,possible sure and then companies such as,tesla came along and now those companies,are expanding to rivien and to uh,um oh gosh what's the other one the,electric car manufacturer lucid yeah,lucid thank you and lucid where,basically you go to a website and you,pay um the msrp which is actually not an,msrp but it is a manufacturer or a price,yes,and yeah you know what it's very similar,to but it's like buying an apple,computer exactly or an iphone right uh,the apple computer is this price or the,iphone is this price and you either get,it or you don't get it yeah and of,course those prices also vary uh in the,latest news from tesla tesla just,increased the price of the brand new,model or redone refreshed model x and,model s by five thousand dollars,they get this they gave it a worse,steering wheel and made it more,expensive there you go but but you know,now your choice of course is to pay that,or not to pay it or walk away or walk,away right,but unfortunately with the old model,with the old dealership model some,dealers are actually asking the,manufacturer's suggested retail price,and some people are adding what is,euthemistically called,a market adjustment,yes that is the term market adjustment,uh so we recently got an email from one,of our readers and viewers who sent us,this maverick that you're looking at at,a dealership where the dealer is asking,for a thousand dollar market adjustment,uh which to me you know is uh fair it's,it's an open and free marketplace right,uh once again you can or not you don't,have to pay that but you know because we,feel that this

Are Cruises Still WORTH IT? Extras, Upcharges & Add-ons (right now)

there's no question everything has gone,up in price including the cost of,cruises however have Cruise add-ons,extras package options and even,gratuities is it all getting out of hand,hi there I'm Elana from the website,lightbulb cruise.com welcome or welcome,back to my channel now lately with the,different price hikes that we're seeing,the different changes that we're seeing,even including some of the package,options well some people are saying,booking a cruise is getting confusing I,kind of have to agree with so many,different options for add-ons and,packages and even constantly hearing,about hikes and prices and cutbacks it,seems a little bit confusing now I do,still think that cruises are a really,good value but I do have to wonder about,some of these things we'll also talk,about extra charge items where we are,seeing them and I really do want to hear,from you what you think about these,things and we'll also talk about the,value of those all-inclusive perks,packages and if they are still of value,if the price has increased now,especially since a lot of these changes,are really very recent and the feedback,has not all been good I am going to,share with you my thoughts on this a,little bit late later on in the video,but I also would like to hear from you,before I get started I did want to,mention that if you like this video if,you find it helpful informative or,enjoyable in any way then please do give,this video a big thumbs up I really do,appreciate it and please subscribe to,the channel if you haven't done so,already let's get started so firstly,let's talk about crew gratuities we've,had a couple of cruise lines who have,increased or announced increases to crew,gratuities now this is something that,usually happens about once a year or so,sometimes it happens a little bit less,sometimes a little bit more often but,this year we definitely have seen it,probably quite a few cruise lines but in,this case we are now seeing Norwegian,Cruise Line that raised their gratuities,a few months ago raising them again,going from 16 to 20 dollars per person,per day for the majority of cabins some,are a little bit more with Havens going,to 25 per person per day so on average,that is about a 20 increase on crew,gratuities now we've had other Cruise,Lines raised gratuities as well,including princess that just made a,recent change now of course the crew,worked very hard the cost of living is,going up for them too so it really does,make sense but this really is an extra,cost for the cruise passenger to Bear,which really did bring up the question,in my Facebook Community as you should,cruise lines include the cost of,gratuities in the price of their Cruise,a lot of people said yes maybe they,should be including that in the price,now perhaps this is a discussion for,another full video but a lot of people,did think that yes Cruise Lines perhaps,should include that in the price if it's,an expectation for people to pay those,gratuities and if the cost of living is,going
