Attention Merchants: MasterCard and VISA may cost you more than AmEx

It's a common belief that MasterCard and VISA are cheaper for merchants than American Express. This is the case because MC/VISA promote their "discount rate" (that being the percentage they take of each transaction) as somewhere between 1.5% and 3%, whereas American Express's published discount rate is usually well over 3%. Seems like easy math, right? Well, it's not. You see, with American Express you as the merchant onlyÂpay the discount rate, but with MasterCard and VISA you will typically pay the discount rate plusÂwhatever else it costs them to process that transaction. And the "whatever else" (also called "interchange fees") includes the costs of all those airline miles, hotel points, cashback bonuses, etc., that benefit the cardholder. Yep, you read that right: you as the merchant are directly charged for this on top ofÂwhatever percentage ofÂthe transaction you're already paying. Don't believe us? Well, check your statments for those extra fees. We'll wait.
Yep.
